The process of changing from liquid to vapor?
causes heat energy to flow from the liquid and cool the surroundings.
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
Why does a pyroclastic flow travel more quickly than a lava flow?
A lava flow flows as a viscous liquid, rather like molasses only thicker. A pyroclastic flow is a mixture of ash, gas, and rock fragments and is not significantly affected by viscous forces that would slow it down. It moves like an avalanche or thunderstorm downburst rather than a liquid.
What is the layer of the earth that is mostly rock?
There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."
Why does pyroclastic flow travel faster than a lava flow?
Lava is a very viscous liquid, meaning it will resist flowing rather like syrup. Lava flows are often slowed even more as they form a crust of solid rock. A pyroclastic flow is a different matter; it is a dense cloud of hot ash, rock, and gas, behaving more like an avalanche than a flowing liquid. Pyroclastic flows are not slowed by viscous forces.
The process that causes liquid rock to move is called?
Convection causes liquid rock to move.
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 process causes liquid rock to move?
Vulcanism is the process that forces liquid rock (magma) from deep within the Earth, up to the surface. Once the rock is expelled from a Volcano, the force of Gravity makes it flow down the sloped surface.
What is a process that causes liquid rock to move?
convection :)
The process of changing from liquid to vapor?
causes heat energy to flow from the liquid and cool the surroundings.
Why can't solid rock cannot flow but hot liquid rock can?
Solid rock can (and does) flow. However the when rock mets its viscosity becomes less than the viscocity of a solid and the rate of low becomes perceptible to human senses.
When was the bombing in ripple rock?
Ripples are caused by the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) over sediment.
What causes lava to flow easily?
the shelter of surrounding rock, allowing it to stretch out its particles
Why is a liquid able flow?
a liquid is able to flow because its freely moving particles allow liquid to flow from place to place
What describes how a liquid pours?
One can describe how a liquid pours by its viscosity. Viscosity is a liquid's ability to resist flow. Therefore, the higher the viscosity, the "thicker" the liquid is and causes it to pour out slowly. If a liquid is said to have a low viscosity, the liquid is "thinner" and can easily be poured out.
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
Can you liquid flow through a pipe?
of course liquid can flow through a pipe?
