What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
What is the second layer of the earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is divided into continental crust and oceanic crust. Underneath the crust and attached to it is the uppermost brittle mantle, which, together with the crust is referred to as 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 part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
Solid layer just below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of the Earth that contains the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
Is lithosphere the layer of gas surrounding the earth?
No, the layer of gas surrounding the earth is called the atmosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the solid and brittle portion of the upper mantle.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What do the uppermost layer of the mantle and the crust compose?
Combined, they form the lithosphere, the brittle outer shell of the Earth.
This is the topmost of the earth?
lithosphere The upper layer of Earth, which includes its thin brittle crust and upper mantle.
What is the second layer of earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is divided into continental crust and oceanic crust. Underneath the crust and attached to it is the uppermost brittle mantle, which, together with the crust is referred to as the lithosphere.
What is the second layer of the earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is divided into continental crust and oceanic crust. Underneath the crust and attached to it is the uppermost brittle mantle, which, together with the crust is referred to as the lithosphere.
Is the lithosphere a solid or a liquid?
according to scientists, the lithosphere is solid
How are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
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 part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
