This solid layer is found between the inner core and the lithosphere?

Although the bottom of the lithosphere is also part of the mantle, the answer is the mantle.


Between earths lithosphere and its core is its?

After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.


Is Earth's lithosphere in the inner and outer core?

No, Earth's lithosphere is not found in the inner and outer core. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The inner and outer core are layers beneath the lithosphere, composed of molten iron and nickel in the outer core and solid iron and nickel in the inner core.


What solid layer between the inner mantle and the lithosphere?

I dont think there is a solid layer between the Lowwer Mantle and the Lithosphere. The only layer which lies in this region is the Asthenosphere, which is a Weak Zone and in Molten State.


What layer of earth makes up the plates?

the crust + lithosphere earth's crust: crust crust continental crust lithosphere crust continental and oceanic crust mantle asthenosphere mantle lower mantle mantle outer core outer core inner core inner core


What the surrouds the inner core?

If you mean by the inside of Earth, it's the outer core then the Inner mantle, then outer mantle, and then the Lithosphere (or crust.)


What layer of the earth do its plates move on?

the lithosphere but mostly inner mantle


Is the lithosphere the inner core of the Earth?

No. The lithosphere is the outer part of Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.


What layers make up the lithosphere?

The lithosphere is made up of two layers: the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The crust is the outermost layer of the lithosphere and is composed of solid rock, while the upper mantle beneath it is also solid but more ductile.


What best describes the best relationship between the inner core outer core mantle lithosphere and asthenosphere?

The inner core is solid iron, the outer core is liquid iron, the mantle is solid rock, and the lithosphere and asthenosphere are parts of the Earth's crust. The lithosphere is rigid and sits on top of the asthenosphere, which is more ductile and able to flow over time due to higher temperatures and pressures. This relationship allows for the movement of tectonic plates and the convection currents that drive plate motion.


What layers are found in the earths interior?

The Earth's interior consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is composed of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, composed of solid iron and nickel.


What are the layers of the earth from inner to outer?

Inner Core Outer Core Mantle Crust If you want a more precise answer: Inner Core Outer Core Lower Mantle Asthenosphere Lithosphere Crust
