Rigid layer of the earth surrounding the asthenosphere?
The Lithosphere
How are the lithoshphere and asthenosphere similar and how are they different?
The differences and similarities between lithosphere and asthenosphere are as follows. Lithoshphere is made up of rigid rocks flowing above asthenosphere. Asthenosphere has rocks that are more plastic like because they can flow even tho they are still solid rock. The top part of asthenosphere is the same as the lower part of lithosphere, if the top part of asthenosphere cools it then becomes part of lithosphere. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are both made up of the upper part of the mantle on Earth but Lithosphere is also made up of the crust.
Is the asthenosphere molten?
The asthenosphere is only partially molten with some estimates of around 5 percent.
What are the pieces of lithosphere called?
The pieces of lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath and are responsible for the movement and interactions that shape the Earth's surface through processes like plate tectonics.
What makes up earth's lithospere?
The Earth's lithosphere is made up of the uppermost layer of the crust, as well as the rigid mantle. It is composed of rocks, minerals, and various geological formations. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere.

The Lithosphere
How is the lithosphere similar to the asthenosphere?
There both in the mantle
What comprises the lithospere?
The lithosphere consists of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. It is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken into tectonic plates, which move slowly over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What are the two parts of the lithospere?
The two parts of the lithospere are called mantle and the outercore.

What is the temperature of the lithospere?
very hot and is on earth
What is the part of the mantle below the lithospere?
asthenospere
What do you call pieces of the lithospere?
Plattes i think.?
What is true about the lithospere plates?
they constantly move
What is the part of mantle below the lithospere?
asthenospere
