What else can I help you with?
Where is the most stress in earth's crust?
mostly in the upper mantle
What is one suggested cause of deep focus earthquakes?
Stress due to the subduction of tectonic plates into Earth's mantle.
lithosphere?
a rigid layer that can break under stress
Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?
The Earth's mantle is composed of solid rock that is not undergoing radioactive decay, which is the process that releases radiation. The radiation that is naturally emitted from the Earth mainly comes from the crust and the core, not the mantle. Additionally, the thickness and composition of the mantle act as a barrier that prevents most radiation from reaching the surface.
What are the thickest layers of the earth?
Thermosphere or the ionosphere is the thickest layer on earth. It reaches a height 400 kilometers.
Do diamonds surround the earth's mantle?
No, diamonds don't surround the earth's mantle. Diamonds are formed within the earth's mantle, and are rare.
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
What part of the earth behaves like a brittle solid?
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are the solid part of the Earth called the lithosphere.
What do mantle eat?
The mantle is a layer of the earth.
Is the lower mantle of the Earth a solid or liquid?
the lower mantle of earth is a solid
Why do few earthquakes happpen in earth's mantle?
Few earthquakes occur in the Earth's mantle because most seismic activity is concentrated in the Earth's crust, where tectonic plates interact. The mantle is primarily solid and behaves more like a viscous fluid over geological timescales, which dampens stress buildup and release. Additionally, the high temperatures and pressures in the mantle prevent the formation of the brittle faults that commonly cause earthquakes in the crust. As a result, seismic events are rare in this deeper layer of the Earth.
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
