The lithosphere can be defined as the crust and the uppermost mantle, but above and separate from the rest of the upper mantle (asthenosphere).
The outer layer of the crust, including the land surfaces, can be called the pedosphere - the boundary between rock and atmosphere or rock and ocean, where soil and sediment is formed.
What else can I help you with?
What earth layer is above the lithosphere?
The Earth layer known as the lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost mantle. There is no solid layer above the lithosphere.
Is the crust and the top layer of the mantle called lithosphere?
Yes the crust and the top layer of the mantle is called Lithosphere.
What is the solid outer crust layer and the top portion of the mantle layer of the Earth called?
The solid outer crust layer of the Earth is called the lithosphere. The top portion of the mantle layer, just beneath the lithosphere, is called the asthenosphere.
The layer directly under the Lithosphere?
The layer directly under the Lithosphere is the Asthenosphere. The Asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle that allows for the movement of the tectonic plates above it. It is hotter and more ductile compared to the rigid Lithosphere.
What is the name of the outerlayer of the lithosphere?
The crust is the outer layer of the lithosphere.
How is the lithosphere different from the layer beneath it?
The layer beneath the lithosphere is much softer and flows very slowly.
How is the lithospheric different from the layer beneath it?
The layer beneath the lithosphere is much softer and flows very slowly.
What is the farthest layer from the lithosphere?
The Exosphere is the atmospheric layer the farthest distance from the lithosphere.
What earth layer is above the lithosphere?
The Earth layer known as the lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost mantle. There is no solid layer above the lithosphere.
What atmospheric layer is farthest from the lithosphere?
The Exosphere is the atmospheric layer the farthest distance from the lithosphere.
Where is the lithosphere locate?
The lithosphere is located at the surface of Earth.The lithosphere is the first layer of the mechanical version of the Earth's layers. The lithosphere is the outer most layer of the Earth.
What is the mechanics layer of earth that contains tectonic plates?
Lithosphere (apex)
What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?
The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.
What is a rigid layer made up of the uppermost part of the mantle and crust?
The rigid layer that is the upper mantle and crust is called the lithosphere.
What layer of the earth is the solid rock layer?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
What is inner layer?
The lithosphere
What layer of the earth does the lithosphere associate with?
The lithosphere associates mainly with the weak molten layer of the mantle called the asthenosphere.
