So, the order is:

Lithosphere

Asthenosphere

Mesosphere.

Remember, that the order goes from the bottom to the top. Yes, relatively speaking the LIthosphere is "first" but from the top. The mesosphere is "first" from the bottom.

The crust is outermost then the lithosphere then the asthenosphere the mantle and finally the core. The real answer is a bit more complicated, however. The lithosphere actually consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Similarly, the asthenosphere is a part of the mantle just below the lithosphere.

What is the hot material that is first beneath the earths crust?

the crust then comes the mantel the inner layer then core


What is the first most abundant material in Earth's crust?

Rock is the most abundant material in the crust.


What comes first in an eruption magma or lava?

Mountain comes first because the formation of a volcano mountain comes first then it will have a crater because the magma chamber is already full it needs to release the magma which want to go up to the crust


Explain how the processes of sea-floor spreading and magnetic reversal produce bands of oceanic crust that have different magnetic polarities?

Based on earth's magnetic field, new oceanic crust that is created is polarized one way or the other at creation. The new crust is created by gaps between oceanic plates where magma comes out and hardens. This crust is pushed away from the spreading center by a few processes (if you want to learn more look up slab pull, slab suction and, most importantly, ridge push). Lets say the crust that is being created at a spreading center can have polarization N (north) or S (south). First crust with polarization N comes out, then after the magnetic poles flip crust with polarization S is coming out. This alternation of the crust that is being pushed from the spreading center causes the bands. You should look at some diagrams to understand it better.


What are the properties of oceanic crust?

2 characteristics of the crust- the crust is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. It is the coolest layer for it is the first and farthest layer from the core.

What caused the first land masses to form on earth?

Granitic crust, a.k.a continental crust, began to form, which happened to be less dense than oceanic crust. Therefore, the continental crust went on top of the oceanic, thus creating the first land mass on Earth.
