What is the relationship between the mantle and the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a layer within the upper mantle. It is a more ductile and partially molten region of the mantle that allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it. The mantle, which includes the asthenosphere, is the layer of the Earth located between the crust and the core.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
What is the difference between lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The difference between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is that the asthenosphere is the lower part of the upper mantle it behaves like a plastic but flows much more easily than the rest of the mantle. The lithosphere however, includes the entire crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, it is more rigid and brittle and doesn't flow.
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
What are the different layer of the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is divided into two layers: the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust includes the Earth's outermost layer that is divided into continental and oceanic crust. The upper part of the mantle beneath the crust is known as the asthenosphere.
What is the relationship between the mantle and the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a layer within the upper mantle. It is a more ductile and partially molten region of the mantle that allows for the movement of tectonic plates above it. The mantle, which includes the asthenosphere, is the layer of the Earth located between the crust and the core.
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.
The asthenosphere is part of which layer of the earth?
The Asthenosphere is part of the Mantle of the Earth
Which layer of earth is made up partly of crust and partly of mantle material?
the lithosphere is the full crust and top part of the mantle but the asthenosphere is just a little bit above the middle of the mantle but not any of he crust
The crust and part of the upper mantle are known as?
Asthenosphere
What is the layer of the earth above the crust?
The layer of the Earth above the crust is called the lithosphere. It consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
What layer lies above the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is basically the part of Earth that we stand on. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Under the lithosphere is the mantle, then the outher and inner core. Over it? Technically, just the crust. Then...us.
In which layer is the asthenosphere and the lithosphere located?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper mantle, just below the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's crust that includes the rigid upper part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is a semi-molten layer below the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
Which layer of earth lies below the crust?
The asthenosphere and the mantle.
Is the crust also the lithosphere?
Not exactly. The lithosphere is the crust and the top of the mantle (down to the asthenosphere).
The asthenosphere float on which structural zone?
The lower boundary of the asthenosphere is not well defined. It lies below the lithosphere and above the lower mantle and outer core. It usually lies at depths of 80-200 km but can range as deep as 700 km.
What is the uppermost layer of the mantle?
The uppermost layer of the mantle is called the lithosphere. It is a rigid outer layer that includes the crust and a small part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
