What are parts of the earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle consists mainly of the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is made up of solid rock, while the lower mantle is composed of more solid and dense rock. The mantle plays a crucial role in the movement of tectonic plates and the convection currents that drive plate tectonics.
What layer of rock that is 67 of earths mass is?
Mantle
What will happen if the flow of hot rock in earths mantle if the planets core eventually cools?
The flow of hot rock in earths mantle will stop and Earth's magnetic field will disappear
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
magma.
Is the lower mantle rock stronger than the asthenosphere?
Yes, the lower mantle rock is typically stronger than the asthenosphere. The lower mantle exhibits solid-like behavior due to high pressure, while the asthenosphere is partially molten and represents a weaker layer of the Earth's mantle.
What is the mechanical layer of earths that is solid rock and moves the least?
mesosphere
Is rock found in earths mantle?
Yes.
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
What is the plastic like rock of the lower mantle called?
The plastic-like rock of the lower mantle is called the asthenosphere. It is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle that allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the layer of the rock beneath the earths crust?
mantle
What is the rock of earths mantle?
plate tectonic and magma
What is earths upper mantle composition?
hard rock
What layer of rock that is 67 of earths mass is?
Mantle
What will happen if the flow of hot rock in earths mantle if the planets core eventually cools?
The flow of hot rock in earths mantle will stop and Earth's magnetic field will disappear
What is the layer of rock that comprises 67 of earths mass?
The mantle.
What brings material from the mantle to the earths surface?
