ProfessorThe eath's crust is solid and it is made out of Silicon,Sodium,Calcium. The mantle is a solid part of the earth. It is made up of materials like iron, calcium, and magnesium. The mantle has two layers the upper layer and the lower layer. (These are just little facts about earth's crust and mantle.)
The mantle and crust core are both rock, the crust core is a hard solidified rock, whereas the mantle is hot flowing rock.
The mantle and crust core are also connected because when the tectonic plates of the crust core separate (creating an earthquake) the crust core can connect again over a long period of time or the hot flowing rock of the mantle can come to the Earth's surface and solidify, creating new land.

The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. What do these layers of the lithosphere have in common How are they different?
Both the crust and the upper mantle are solid layers of the Earth's lithosphere. However, the crust is more brittle and less dense than the mantle. Additionally, the crust is composed primarily of oxygen and silicon (silicate minerals) whereas the mantle contains more iron and magnesium.
What are the 3 main layers of the earth?
The three main layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer that we live on, the mantle is a thick layer beneath it, and the core is at the center of the Earth.
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The upper mantle is located beneath the Earth's crust and above the lower mantle.
Which of the crust mantle core layers are located in the lithosphere?
The crust and uppermost part of the mantle (lithospheric mantle) are located in the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the rigid outermost layer of Earth, including the crust and the solid upper part of the mantle.
Which earth layer is found under the crust?
35 - 60 Kms would be the uppermost mantle, which along with the crust forms the hard, brittle lithosphere. The Mantle is a semi-molten layer.
