Ah, liquid rock is a fascinating thing, my friend. It's just like when you're painting with warm, flowing colors on your canvas. When rock deep beneath the Earth's surface gets so hot that it melts, it turns into liquid rock, also known as magma. This magma can eventually make its way to the surface and flow out as lava, creating beautiful landscapes and new land for all of us to enjoy.

What are the Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner Mantle are made up of?
The Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner mantle are made up of solid rock and liquid rock.
What is the two possible origins of liquid water?
1. Comets2. being squeezed out of rock (i.e. - steam from volcanoes)
Large blobs of magma that hardens in the air?
Firstly, it forms lava (liquid). When it hadens, it becomes a rock (solid).
What is the consistency of the earth's mantle?
Magma can have a consistency that ranges from syrup to rock. It depends on how fast the magma is flowing and what it contains.
What is made up of mostly iron in the earth?
Iron is denser than rock, and therefore sinks through the layers of molten liquid rock, to the center.
Which earth layer is made up of liquid rock?
No layer is truly made of liquid rock. The mantle is sometimes, inaccurately, said to be liquid rock when it is in fact solid, albeit relatively soft. The outer core is liquid, but it consists of liquid metal, not rock.
When a rock is formed by the process of cooling liquid rock it is called a?
The rock formed by cooling a liquid rock after processing is called a crystal.
Can a rock be a liquid?
No. When a rock is turned into a liquid (generally through melting because of high temperature) it is no longer called a rock (but a magma). Also you can dissolve a rock into a liquid (like water) but then of course you first need a liquid. And then also, the (dissolved) "rock" is no longer called a rock, it is in solution.
Who is Liquid Jesus?
Liquid Jesus is a rock band.
When a rock is heated it melts to form a liquid called what?
hot liquid that forms when rock melts is MAGMA
Rock liquid or gas that orbits the sun?
Rock: asteroid. Liquid: none. Gas: comet.
Which of these processes would not produce liquid rock below the surface?
Melting of a rock at temperatures below its melting point would not produce liquid rock below the surface. The other processes, such as increased temperature or pressure, would lead to the formation of liquid rock.
What is an liquid rock?
Lava
What is liquid rock that becomes solid called?
igneous rock
Why is rock a solid and lava a liquid?
Rocks are solid objects therefore they are solids. Lava is rock that has been melted in to a liquid therefore makeing lava a liquid.
Liquid rock is called?
Liquid or molten rock is called magma when it is below the ground and lava when it flows above the ground.
Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
