comprise of tectonic plates which floats to each other it contains more than crust and it is made up/divided into two oceanic crust where it ranges from 50-90km in thinkness and continental ranges from 40-210km and below it is Asthenosphere that contains high viscousity that allow it to move slowly anddoes it transfer heat to lithosphere via convection being responsible as process for the movement of tectonic plate and Asthenospheres ranges from 100-200km and it's depth upto 4020km
What else can I help you with?
A tectonic plate is a massive portion of the earths what?
lithosphere
What is the solid outer crust layer and the top portion of the mantle layer of the Earth called?
The solid outer crust layer of the Earth is called the lithosphere. The top portion of the mantle layer, just beneath the lithosphere, is called the asthenosphere.
Does the lithosphere have a greater temperature than the earth's mantle?
The lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle. Its temperature is around 300 to 500 degrees Celsius. The lower portion of the mantle, which is the asthenosphere, has a temperature of around 4500 degrees Celsius.
What is the solid outer crust layer and the top portion of the mantle layered called?
lithosphere
Where does the process of plate separation and lithosphere formation take place?
The process of plate separation and lithosphere formation typically takes place at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other due to seafloor spreading. As the plates diverge, magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust, which solidifies to form the lithosphere.
What is the solid portion of the earth's surface called?

What is the name of the mechanical that is composed of the crust and the top portion of the mantle?
The lithosphere.
What is a part of earth's lithosphere?
Anything that isn't the Earth's crust and the rocky brittle portion of the upper mantle is not part of Earth's lithosphere.
What is the solid outer crust layer and the top portion of the mantle layer called?
The solid outer crust layer is called the lithosphere, and the top portion of the mantle layer is called the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is rigid and consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, while the asthenosphere is a ductile layer beneath the lithosphere where convection currents occur.
What is the litospher?
I think you mean Lithosphere. the lithosphere is the top solid crust portion of planet Earth. it consists of the Ocean floor and Continents. Below the lithosphere is the aesthenosphere. Which begins to get very hot.
What is the name of the mechanical layer that is composed of the crust and the top portion of the mantle?

Does the lithosphere have a greater temperature than the earth's mantle?
The lithosphere is the upper portion of the mantle. Its temperature is around 300 to 500 degrees Celsius. The lower portion of the mantle, which is the asthenosphere, has a temperature of around 4500 degrees Celsius.
