What is the distance between Earth's topsoil layer to Earth's solid rock layer?

The distance between Earth's topsoil layer and the solid rock layer beneath it can vary, but on average it is around 10-20 feet (3-6 meters). This layer of soil is called the regolith and sits above the bedrock, which is the solid rock layer.


What layer of the earth is made up of solid rock soil and minerals?

The second layer


What is the mechanical layer of earth that is solid rock and moves the least crust lithosphere?

The mechanical layer of Earth that is solid rock and moves the least is the lithosphere. It comprises the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, forming a rigid outer shell. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that can move, but the individual rocks within this layer are generally stable and do not flow like those in the underlying asthenosphere.


Is the lower mantle solid or a liquid?

niether. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere of earth, so it would be a gas. It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere reaching temperatures of -90 C. by mjjm23: No, it is a layer of the earth!! that is wrong, but i don't know the answer! THE ANSWER IS SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE IN THAT AREA OF THE EARTH IN COMPARISON TO THE MATERIALS IN THE MESOSPHERE. THE MESOSPHERE IS SOLID. BUT YES THE MESOSPHERE IS ALSO THE NAME OF AN ATMOSPHERIC LAYER. BUT IN THE EARTH IT IS SOLID...


Is the Earth's crust made of magma or rock?

The Earth's crust is made of solid rock, not magma. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while the crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.

What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?

The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.

What layer of the earth continents oceans and molten rock?

Continents and oceans are located on the Earth's outermost layer, known as the crust. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which consists of solid rock that can flow under high pressure. The molten rock, or magma, is found in the Earth's innermost layer, the outer core and the inner core.


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.

The layer below the earth's outer layer is?

The layer below Earth's outer layer is the mantle. It is composed of solid rock that is able to flow slowly over long periods of time. The mantle is much thicker than the Earth's crust and makes up the majority of the Earth's volume.


What is the solid rock that makes up earths outermost layer?

The solid rock forms the Earth's crust on which we live.


What is the layer of the earth that contains mostly liquid rock?

There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."


Earths thick plasticlike layer is the what?

Earth's thick plastic-like layer is the mantle. The mantle is a dense, semi-solid layer of the Earth's interior that lies beneath the crust and extends down to the outer core. It is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time.


What layer of earth is made of solid rock?

The layer of Earth made of solid rock is the lithosphere. It includes the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
