The layer of Earth that is the solid outermost portion and is part of the mantle and crust is called _______.
the largest layer between the crust and outer core
inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
lithosphere
less dense than the mantle
crust
pieces of rock need to be pressed into layers
Tectonic plates collide at convergent boundaries causing the mantle to push upward.
converging boundaries
