Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.

If anything is rock-solid, it will result in a flat landscape. This will mean that there will be no plateaus, deep sea trenches, volcanoes or mountains if the mantle were solid rock.
What features would not form on earth's surface if the mantle were solid rock?
Any surface feature that had to do with lithospheric plate movements, such as a mountain, mountain chain, or subduction volcano.

The earth's surface is what on molten rock?
Molten rock on the Earth's surface is called lava.
Is rock solid liquid or gas?
1. Earth (the material) is a solid. 2. Earth (the planet) is a solid with a liquid center.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
