What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
What is earths solid rock surface?
In geological context the fairly solid and rocky surface of the Earth is formally referred to as the "crust", distinct from the mantle beneath it.
Is the asthenosphere the thinnest layer?
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
How many layers in earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle has two main layers: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. These layers are distinguished by differences in their composition, temperature, and behavior. The upper mantle extends from the crust to a depth of about 410 miles (660 kilometers), while the lower mantle extends from about 410 miles (660 kilometers) to approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below the Earth's surface.
If the mantle and the core are extremely hot why is the heat coming from these layers not felt on the earths surface?
Rock is a very poor conductor of heat and there is quite a lot of it between the surface and the mantle. As a result heat conducts to the surface very slowly and quickly radiates into space. As a result the vast majority of heat at Earth's surface comes from the sun. The heat from the mantle is felt at erupting volcanoes where magma, which ultimately gets it heat from the mantle, reaches the surface.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What brings material from the mantle to the earths surface?
What brings material from the Mantle to the Earth's Surface is rock...
What is the thickest layer of earths surface?
The Mantle.
What theory states that earths crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions rates over earths surface?
The theory that states Earth's crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions and rates over Earth's surface is known as plate tectonics. It explains how the lithosphere is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other, leading to various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
How many mantle plumes are on earths surface?
22
What is the layer 100 km below the earths surface?
The mantle =)
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
What is the opening on earths surface where magma from the mantle rises and flows out?
Valcano
Where does magma form before it moves toward the earths surface?
in the mantle above the slab
Does a volcano form when magma reaches earths surface?
That is correct. When magma travels from the mantle to the crust and reaches the surface, that is a volcano.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the ridge layer of earths surface made up of the crust and part of the mantle called?
lithoshpere
