What is the molten layer?
Its called the mantle. It is the layer beneath the crust and surrounding the inner and outer core of the earth.
What element makes up the mantle?
The elements of the mantle are silicon, oxygen, iron, and aluminium.
What chemical can be found in the mantle?
The Earth mantle is supposed to contain O, Mg, Si, Fe, Ca, Al.
How does a rock turn into a diamond?
'Rocks' do not turn into diamonds. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, from carbon. The formation process includes enormous pressure, extreme high heat and millennia of time -- in craytons. Diamonds are brought to the earth's surface by volcanic pipes. You can read more about this process, below.
What layer is Diamonds from?
The upper mantle.
What is the process called when the mantle pushes plates?
CONVECTION
What is the process called In which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle called?
i think that its subduction ...
What is the process called when the sea floor sinks into the mantle?
Subduction.
What is the process by which the oceans floor sinks into the mantle is called?
Subduction.
What is the cycle in the mantle called?
Below the Earth's is the Earth's mantle. The Earth's crust changes through plate tectonics, the constant process where subduction describes the Earth's crust moving down into the mantle and elsewhere upheaval brings material to the surface. The process is not really a simple cycle but part of the complex geological processes of an active planet.
What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary called?
This process is called subduction.
As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle What is this process called?
subduction
IF the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into mantle this process is called?
Subduction .
What is the slow movement of rock called that transfers heat in the mantle?
This process is known as convection.
Where do convection currents flow through the earth?
The mantle called the asthenosphere
Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?
The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.
What is the process of thrusting oceanic lithosphere into the mantle along a convergent plate boundary called?
First of all it is NOT a process of thrusting. It is a process of convection and in terms of plate tectonics, it is called "subduction".
