What else can I help you with?
Is the rock in the crust able to move around more easily than the rock in the lower mantle since the rock in the crust moves around differently than rock in the lower mantle?
The rock in the lower mantle moves around easily than the crust. This is because rock in the lower mantle is hotter and closer to its melting point. Rocks in the crust are cooler thus harder to move around.
What is the lower mantle beneath?
The lower mantle is beneath the crust.
What are the 2 layers of the mantle?
The mantle is divided into two main layers: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is closer to the Earth's crust and is more rigid, while the lower mantle is hotter and flows more easily due to higher temperatures and pressures.
Is rock in the crust able to move around more easily than the rock in the lower mantle?
No it's the other way round. Rock in the mantle is hotter, nearer to its melting point (though it's still solid) and so can move around quite easily. Rock in the crust is much cooler, like frozen ice and so it is much harder to move around.
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
Why does the oceanic crust sit lower in the mantle than the continental crust?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust due to its composition and age, causing it to sink lower into the mantle. The oceanic crust is also thinner and has been subjected to more intense heat and pressure, which contributes to its lower position in the mantle compared to the thicker, lighter continental crust.
How many kinds of crust are there?
only 1 crust. then the lithosphere, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, inner core.
Where does felsic?
Heat from the mantle melts part of the lower crust.
Where does felsic form?
Heat from the mantle melts part of the lower crust.
What happens to the crust when the molten rock sinks to the lower mantle?

Which system includes core mantle and crust?
The Earth's structure includes the core (inner and outer), mantle, and crust. The core is further divided into the inner core and outer core, while the mantle is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle. The crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth.
