What else can I help you with?
What part of the earth is compose of rocks and solids?
The crust and part of the mantle is made of rocks and solids. The other layers under the earth are mostly composed of molten lava or semi-molten rocks.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
What part of the rain forest does a salamander live?
Under Logs, Under Rocks In a Moist Area, Near a Stream or River, Lakes or Canals. On the Ground of the Rain Forest (Not in the Trees.) The big part
What are molten material in the mantle?
Yes. The mantle is composed of the plastic mantle, or the upper part, which is partially molten. The stiffer mantle is under it. it is not as molten
What causes the rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
Rocks in the mantle at divergent boundaries melt due to the decrease in pressure as tectonic plates move apart. This reduction in pressure lowers the melting point of the rocks, causing them to melt and form magma.
What causes the rock in the mantle at divergent boundaries to melt?
The crust stretches and gets thinner so the pressure decreases on the mantle rocks below this causes part of the mantle to melt
What is most of the earths mass in?
Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, most of the rest in the core; the part we inhabit is a tiny fraction of the whole
Which sphere includes rocks and sediments?
The lithosphere includes rocks and sediments. This is the outermost solid part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle. Rocks and sediments are part of the lithosphere's composition.
What are the characteristics of earths crust mantle core?
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
Can metamorphic rocks be part of an isolated system?
No. They will either be subducted into the mantle or uplifted and/or exposed to erosion.
Is the crust a layer of rocks under the plate or is the crust the plates?
The crust is the layer at the surface that forms the upper part of the plates. The plates also include a portion of the upper mantle just beneath the crust. Together, the crust and this upper portion of the mantle form the lithosphere.
Is the lithosphere brown?
Not, notnecessarily. The lithosphere consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The rocks of the crust come in a wide varity of colors. Some of the more common rocks may be black, gray, white, red, brown or red. The upper part of the mantle is largely composed of peridotite, which is green.
