Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
What part of the mantle is most solid?
The most solid part of the mantle is the lower mantle, which extends from about 660 kilometers to 2,900 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. In this region, the immense pressure causes the rocks to behave more like a solid than a liquid, despite being composed of semi-solid materials. The lower mantle is characterized by its high density and rigidity, contrasting with the more ductile behavior of the upper mantle, where the asthenosphere allows for some flow.
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
Yes, the mantle is made of solid rock that can flow due to its high temperature and pressure. This slow flowing movement of the mantle is known as mantle convection and is responsible for driving plate tectonics.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
Is the lithosPhere a solid liquid or neither?
The lithosphere is a solid layer of the Earth comprising the crust and upper part of the mantle. It is neither a liquid nor a gas, but a rigid layer that rests on the more fluid asthenosphere below.
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.
Is the lower mantel a liquid or a solid?
The lower mantle is a solid layer that extends from about 660 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. While it can flow very slowly over geological time scales, it behaves more like a solid due to high pressure and temperature conditions.
Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer within the Earth's mantle. It behaves more like a solid over short time scales, but can flow slowly over long periods of time due to high temperatures and pressure.
Does a solid have to have a definite shape but not a definite volume?
Sounds more like a liquid than a solid
Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?
No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.
What is the difference between the mantle and outer core of the Earth?
There are differences in chemistry (the mantle is mainly ultramafic rock--the outer core is metallic), in phase (the mantle is predominately solid--the outer core is liquid), in depth (the outer core is closer to the center of the Earth), and in density (the outer core is more dense).
