How are pressure and heat involved in melting rock in the mantle?
It is involved in the Mantle because heat Is used for the temepeter and pressure is for how close the mantle is
The membrane of the axon has the unique ability to?
Open and close it's chemical gates
What happens what you try to move atoms close to each other?
A chemical compound can be formed.
What happens if you try to move atoms very close to each other?
A chemical compound can be formed.
How come SI and GE have similar chemical properties?
Si and Ge have similar chemical properties due to how close they are on the periodic table. Silicon and GermaniumÊare both metalloids.
What are related to chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of chemical composition of materials, of chemical reactions, of the structure of molecules, of molecules synthesis, etc. Chemistry is close to physics, mineralogy, biology.
What is the upper mantle of the earth made of?
The uppermost mantle is connected to the crust and forms the asthenosphere, which composes Earth's tectonic plates. The bulk of the mantle is composed of extremely hot rock under enormous pressure. The mantle may be very close to the melting point of the rock which composes it, or even partially melted. Mantle rock is higher in magnesium and iron than the crust. Rocks in the upper mantle are composed of the minerals olvine, garnet, spinel and pyroxene. With increasing depth, some of these minerals become unstable and are replaced by mineral polymorphs which have the same chemical composition, but different structures. For more information on the composition of the mantle as a whole, please see the related question.
How are pressure and heat involved in melting rock in the mantle?
It is involved in the Mantle because heat Is used for the temepeter and pressure is for how close the mantle is
Is the mantle porous?
No. The mantle is under such great pressure that any pore space would close immediately.
Is molten rock only close to surface?
no! it can be in the mantle or the outer core
Are all caves cold?
some... but most are warm if they go to close to the mantle
Is Iceland on the mid ocean ridge?
It is on the edge not very close by the mantle plumes
What layer of the atmosphere is the nearest to earth?
layer close to the surface is the top part of the mantle
What Layer Of The Atmosphere Is Nearest To the Earth?
layer close to the surface is the top part of the mantle
Does the grand canyon reach to the mantle?
Not even close. It goes down less than two kilometers into the continental crust, over thirty kilometers away from the upper reaches of the mantle. The bottom of the ocean is far closer to the mantle.
