What else can I help you with?
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
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.
Do magnetic stripes on the ocean floor oceanic crust sink back into the mantle?
No, the magnetic stripes on the ocean floor form due to the alignment of magnetic minerals in the crust as it solidifies from the mantle. The oceanic crust is eventually consumed in subduction zones and recycled back into the mantle, but the magnetic stripes themselves do not sink back into the mantle.
What is also called the earths crust?
The mantal
Crust and earths upper mantle makes up what?

Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?

Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
Does the mantle support the Earths crust?
yes it does.
What is the large piece of the earths crust?
the mantle
What is the earth's crust the thickest?
the area of of earths crust that is the thickest is the mantle.
What is the area of the Earth's crust?
the area of of earths crust that is the thickest is the mantle.
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.
Where is earths Mantle located?
The mantle is located right under Earth's crust.
Do magnetic stripes on the ocean floor oceanic crust sink back into the mantle?
No, the magnetic stripes on the ocean floor form due to the alignment of magnetic minerals in the crust as it solidifies from the mantle. The oceanic crust is eventually consumed in subduction zones and recycled back into the mantle, but the magnetic stripes themselves do not sink back into the mantle.
What is the layer of the rock beneath the earths crust?
mantle
What is also called the earths crust?
