Is granite made from magma and trapped in earth's crust?
Granite is formed when magma that is under the surface of the Earth slowly crystallizes. Granite is usually composed of feldspar, quartz, amphiboles, and mica.
What part of the earth is believed to be solid iron and nickel?
The inner core.
Where in the world is gabbro found?
Gabbro is an igneous rock with an intrusive origin. This means that the rock was formed when a body of magma pushed its way into the Earth's crust and formed an intrusion. This magma eventually cools and forms a coarse grained intrusive igneous rock. Gabbro can be found anywhere that a body of magma has risen and cooled.
Heat from the earth's interior causes convection currents in which layer of earth?
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
What causes the Earth magnitic field?
The inner core and outer core of the planet are composed primarily of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid. It is thought that the convective motion of the liquid outer core is responsible for generating the main field. Recent studies indicate that the inner core of the Earth may rotate a bit faster than the outer core and it is possible that this rotation may be associated with field reversals.
Does magma come from the inner core or outer core?
Magma never did get in the inner core of the earth. The inner core is actually solid but still very hot.
Where is magma found in earth's layers?
lower crust to upper mantle
Is The crust is the hottest layer of the Earth?
No the inner core (or the magma) is the hottest layer of the earth
Why has no one ever explored the inner Earth directly?
Because the inner Earth contains molten rock and magma that would kill you in seconds.
Magma is thought to come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth.?
false
Does magma come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?
upper mantle
Is magma is thought to come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth.?
false
Is magma push up through cracks in the earth's crust?
No its in the earth center or core if you will. Lava is outer magma is inner and the difference is the heat magma hotter lava's cooler but both are over 1000 degrees.
Magma is thought to come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?
false
Why is the interior of the earth and other inner planets hot?
Inner part of planet contains molten magma or core. Its hot due to intense pressure.
When the break in the inner crust is not filled with magma it is called a?
the break in the inner crust that is not filled with magma is called
What is the scientific name for the thick inner soup on earth?
The thick inner soup on Earth is known as the mantle and is composed of solid rock that can flow over long periods of time. It lies between the Earth's crust and core.
