What else can I help you with?
Crust and earths upper mantle makes up what?
it is the lithosphere
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.
What is the earths very top of the mantle combined?
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
What is the earths crust and the very top of the mantle combined?
The Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle together form the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outer layer of the Earth that is divided into tectonic plates which float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
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.
Does the earths lithosphere include part of the mantle?
Yes it does.
What do geologist call the earths crust and upper mantle?
The lithosphere.
Crust and earths upper mantle makes up what?
it is the lithosphere
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What layers make up earths lithosphere?
crust and upper mantle
What is earths surface floating on?
The Earth's surface is supported by the underlying lithosphere, which consists of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's mantle and the Earth's crust. This lithosphere rests on the semi-fluid asthenosphere, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What are the slabs of the lithosphere floating on the molten mantle called?
They are called tectonic plates.
Between earths lithosphere and its core is its?
After the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, then comes the lower mantle. After that is the outer core, and then is the inner core.
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.
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
