What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What in the world is the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet, composed of the crust and the hard uppermost mantle, and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 km and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.Lithosphere is the solid part of the Earth.Like land,and crops.The land part of the earth on the crust
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
What is the upper mantle made of?
The upper mantle is made of something called peridodite.
What the upper mantle made of?
The upper mantle is made of something called peridodite.
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 Lithosphere made up of?
The solid outer zone of the Earth is the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the upper layer of the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
What rock can flow like a liquid?
the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753
What is upper layer made of?
upper layer is made of mantle of the earth.
Is the earths mantle a solid or liquid?
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.
