The crust and the hard uppermost mantle make up the lithosphere, which is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 kmA and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.

The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of Earth what is it called?
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
the earths crust and the rigid upper mantle
Do the plates that make up the crust float on molten rock of the mantle?
Technically, no. They float on top of the asthenosphere, a layer of the upper mantle which is solid, but plastic in nature due to intense heat and pressure.
What is Earth's upper mantle?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)
What layer does the crust and the upper layer of the mantle make?
lithosphere
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of Earth what is it called?
Together the crust and upper mantle make the lithosphere.
What does the upper layer and the crust of the mantle make up?
lithosphere

What is the crust and the upper layer of the mantle together make up?
plat techtonce
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
the earths crust and the rigid upper mantle
What two layers make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of a rocky planet. It comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.In the Earth, the lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and the crust.Also, in the Earth, the lithosphere is more in the crust, than in the uppermost mantle.
What layers make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is a combination of the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
Do the plates that make up the crust float on molten rock of the mantle?
Technically, no. They float on top of the asthenosphere, a layer of the upper mantle which is solid, but plastic in nature due to intense heat and pressure.
