What contains the lower mantle?
The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.
What is the lower boundary of crust?
Upper Mantle.
What is middle layer of earth called?
Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.
Is the lower part of the mantle called the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The lower part of the mantle is actually names the mesosphere. It is overlain by the asthenosphere which is part of the upper mantle and this in turn is overlain by the lithosphere which is made up of the very uppermost mantle and the crust.
Where is the lower mantle in the inside earth?
Well there is the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core. So, the lower mantle is the 3rd one down.

What is the lower mantle beneath?
The lower mantle is beneath the crust.
What is the lower part of the mantle in the earth's crust?
It's just called the lower mantle if I remember correctly. If not just look up a graph in Google
What is crust and upper mantle of the EARTH?
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.
What is the lower boundary of crust?
Upper Mantle.
What is middle layer of earth called?
Between the thin rocky crust and inner core, in order from upper to lower, are the upper mantle, mantle, and outer core.
What do you call the region of Earth between the core and the crust?
Between the core and the crust is the mantle. The upper mantle contains the hard lithosphere and the weak asthenosphere. The lower mantle is marked by an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, the rocks in the lower mantle flow much slower.The mantle...the mantleThis layer is called the mantle.The part of the Earth that is located between the core and the crust is called the mantle.The four general layers are:1. Crust (outer and surface layer)2. Mantle (thickest individual layer)3) Outer Core (liquid)4) Inner Core (solid)The mantle is sometimes divided into the mantle (proper) and the upper mantle, which exhibits some different characteristics from the layer as a whole.

Where is the lower mantle in the inside earth?
Well there is the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core. So, the lower mantle is the 3rd one down.
Which portion of the mantle is more plastic?
lower
What portion of the mantle is more plastic?
lower
How many kinds of crust are there?
only 1 crust. then the lithosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, inner core.
