Describe the uppermost layer of the earth
Answers
Explanation:
lithosphere The upper layer of Earth, which includes its thin brittle crust and upper mantle. The lithosphere is relatively rigid and is broken into slowly moving tectonic plates
The crust
Earth’s crust is like the shell of a hard-boiled egg. It is
extremely thin, cold and brittle compared to what lies below it. The crust is made of relatively light elements, especially silica, aluminum and oxygen. It’s also highly variable in its thickness. Under the oceans (and Hawaiian Islands), it may be as little as 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) thick. Beneath the continents, the crust may be 30 to 70 kilometers (18.6 to 43.5 miles) thick
The mantle
At close to 3,000 kilometers (1,865 miles) thick, this is Earth’s thickest layer. It starts a mere 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) beneath the surface. Made mostly of iron, magnesium and silicon, it is dense, hot and semi-solid (think caramel candy). Like the layer below it, this one also circulates. It just does so far more slowly.
