by studying seismic wave travel times, scientist have determined that the lithosphere, which includes the crust and the top of the upper mantle is made up primaraly of the ingenueos rocks granite, basalt and peridotite
Earths mantle is less dense and very hot. The mantle is 2885km thick.
scientists must use observations of earths surface to draw conclusions about the mantle.
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
the composition of the mantle is peridotite
yes it does, refer to various sources to find out the answer over the internet

No. This has not occurred, yet.
scientists must use observations of earths surface to draw conclusions about the mantle.
They can do this by how and how quickly seismic waves can move through the mantle.
The earths mantle is less dense and it's very hot.
