Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
What is the relationship between the density of earths layer the position of each layer?
Each relationship between each layer is different. Like the mantle and the outer core. Its like the mantle is solid and it starts to soften and turn to liquid the deeper you go. Or like the outer core and the inner core . The outer core starts to get harder and denser and the deeper you go the solider it gets. Like the mantle and the crust too. The mantle gets a little more solid and becomes the crust.
Does a solid have to have a definite shape but not a definite volume?
Sounds more like a liquid than a solid
Can a solid be a fluid?
No. However, there are substances that don't fit neatly into a solid/liquid dichotomy. Glasses, for example, are much more like solids than they are like liquids, but they do have some liquid-like characteristics. Liquid crystals are liquids that show some solid-like characteristics. Viscoelastic materials (Silly Putty is probably the best known example) are somewhere in between.
Is the mantle of Earth's layer liquid?
The upper part is thick and fudge like, and the lower part is more like liquid. It's all hot, molten rock.
What is a solid or liquid of two more or more metals?
A alloy is a solid or liquid mixture of two or more metals.
Is the lower mantle of the earth more solid than the upper mantle?
I think the lower mantle of the earth is mostly solid because even though the heat is extremely high, the pressureis high enough to make it a solid.
How is the mantle related to the outer core?
The outer core of the earth is considered to be a liquid. The mantle is considered solid rock, but could be as much as 5% molten. The outer core is mostly iron and nickel, meanwhile the mantle is mostly ultra mafic rock. The outer core is hotter and more dense than the mantle.
How can you cause more solid solid be dissolved in a liquid?
Usually heating the liquid will allow more solid to be dissolved. This not always the case though.
Is the mantle made of rigid material?
According to plate tectonic theory and observations of seismic waves, the upper mantle is solid and more dense than the crust. At greater depth, the rigidity abruptly decreases and it becomes very flexible, but not liquid.
