If you are using the term 'upper crust' euphemistically and not to refer to bread or pies, then the upper crust is made of aristocrats. If you mean the upper part of the earth's crust, then it is made of the lightest elements from which the planet is made (silicon, aluminum etc).
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What are the crust and part of the upper mantle known as?
lithenosphere
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 the upper part of the mantle?
the lithosphere
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.
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?
Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.
Which term includes Earth' crust and part of the upper mantle?
The term for Earth's crust and part of the upper mantle is lithosphere. The lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that are constantly moving and interacting with each other.
What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the rigid layer of Earth's surface made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle?
Lithosphere.
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Plates are composed of the?
crust and part of the upper mantle
