Is a layer of silicate rock between
the crust and the outer core, with
a thickness of 2,900 kilometers
making up about 84% of Earth's
volume.
It is a mechanically weak and
ductile region of the upper
mantle of Earth and is
responsible for driving plate
tectonics motion.
It is composed of the crust and
the lithospheric mantle, the
topmost portion of the upper
mantle that behaves elastically
on time scales of up to
thousands of years or more
Continental crust is the layer of
igneous, metamorphic, and
sedimentary rocks that forms the
geological continents and the areas of
shallow seabed close to their shores,
known as continental shelves.
