What else can I help you with?
What are the 2 types of mantle?
the upper mantle(lithosphere)and the lower mantle(mesosphere)
How is the lithosphere different then the adthosphere?
The lithosphere is defined as the crust plus the brittle, uppermost mantle to which it is attached. The part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere is ductile, and is the portion of the mantle on which the lithosphere 'floats'. Essentially, it is a difference in the degree of ductility. The lithosphere is brittle; the mantle is ductile.
What composes mantle?
The mantle is composed of the asthenosphere and the lithosphere.
The lithosphere includes all of the?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and the rigid, 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 is the region where lithosphere meets the mantle?
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity.
Where is the region where the lithosphere meets the mantle?
The region where the lithosphere meets the mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It is typically located between 5 to 70 kilometers (3-43 miles) beneath the Earth's surface, depending on the location and tectonic activity.
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
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 are the 2 types of mantle?
the upper mantle(lithosphere)and the lower mantle(mesosphere)
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes 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.
What is part of mantle below the lithosphere called?
The part of the mantle below the lithosphere is called the Asthenosphere.
How is the lithosphere different then the adthosphere?
The lithosphere is defined as the crust plus the brittle, uppermost mantle to which it is attached. The part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere is ductile, and is the portion of the mantle on which the lithosphere 'floats'. Essentially, it is a difference in the degree of ductility. The lithosphere is brittle; the mantle is ductile.
Which of the following is part of the Earths lithosphere SoilMagma None of these Mantle, magma, and soil Mantle?
Mantle is part of the Earth's 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.
