Name the layer of the earth between the crust and the core that is the part liquid part solid?
The layer of the Earth between the crust and the core that is partially liquid and partially solid is the mantle. The upper mantle is solid rock, while the lower mantle is semi-fluid due to high temperatures and pressure.
Mostly solid rocky part of the earth from center of core to the surface of the crust?
The mostly solid rocky part of the Earth extending from the center of the core to the surface of the crust is known as the mantle. It is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle, and consists mainly of solid rock composed of silicate minerals. The uppermost part of the mantle is partially molten, forming the asthenosphere.
What is the lower layer of the mantle called?
The mesosphere
What part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, behaves like a brittle solid. This layer is rigid and can break or fracture under stress, leading to earthquakes.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
Which part of earth's mantle is the most solid?
The most outer solid portion of the planet Earth is the crust.
Is the uppermost part of the mantle a liquid or solid?
Solid!
What is the Solid outer part of the mantle?
the crust
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.

The uppermost part of the mantle is partially molten, forming the asthenosphere.
Is the mantle part of the asthenosphere?
Yes, the aesthenosphere is the part of the upper mantle that is highly viscous and mechanically weak behaving as a ductile solid.
What is the lower layer of the mantle called?
The mesosphere
Are two meanings of lithosphere?
the top part of the mantle and the solid earth
How are the mantle and core different and similar?
there different cuz the mantle is on the out side, there similar cuz they both have a solid part
