niether. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere of earth, so it would be a gas. It is the coldest layer of the atmosphere reaching temperatures of -90 C.
by mjjm23: No, it is a layer of the earth!! that is wrong, but i don't know the answer!
THE ANSWER IS SOLID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE IN THAT AREA OF THE EARTH IN COMPARISON TO THE MATERIALS IN THE MESOSPHERE. THE MESOSPHERE IS SOLID. BUT YES THE MESOSPHERE IS ALSO THE NAME OF AN ATMOSPHERIC LAYER. BUT IN THE EARTH IT IS SOLID...
The material that deep mantle is hot enough that it would melt if it were at the surface, but it is kept solid by the enormous pressure on it. The mesosphere is plastic in nature; deforming on a manner rather like taffy. This allows it to flow on time scales of millions of years.
The mantle is composed of solid rock that is ductile.
The entire mantle is solid rock, but it is hot and plastic so it can "flow" very slowly through a process called "plastic deformation".
The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere. As such it is gaseous.
solid, but has the ability to flow.
Solid
solid
The mesosphere
mantle
the lower mantle is a soild.
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
the lower mantle of earth is a solid
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
Yes the upper mantle is solid. The lower mantle however is not.
solid
the upper mantle (lithosphere) which is solid in nature and the lower Mantle (mesosphere)which is liquid in nature
solid
it is solid.
solid
Well, it's made up of compressed rock. Another person asked this question and this is the answer: "The Earth's mantle, other than the uppermost hard, rocky layer, is composed of rock in a pliable solid state." Hope this helps and answers your question.
Solid.
Solid!
