What if mantle were rock what feature would not form on earths surface?
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.
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
Yes the upper mantle is solid. The lower mantle however is not.
What is the Solid part of earths surface?
land
What is crust and upper mantle of the EARTH?
The upper mantle is in between the lower mantle and the earths crust Crust- the outer most solid shell of the earth. The Uppermost mantle and the earth's crust form the lithosphere.
Why does solid rock in earths mantle melt?
Rocks do not melt in the mantle; however, they may exhibit certain plastic-like or liquid-like properties.
What is earths solid rock surface?
In geological context the fairly solid and rocky surface of the Earth is formally referred to as the "crust", distinct from the mantle beneath it.
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.

What is earths solid surface?
Take a walk outside. Then you will be walking on the Earth's solid surface.
What Layer of hot and solid material between the crust and Earths core?
It is the Mantle.
What is earths solid inner core surrounded by?
The mantle! I remember learning this in geography :)
What is the Solid part of earths surface?
land
What are the features of crust mantle and core?
the crust is dirt, the mantle is lava and the core is liquid and or solid metal
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
Magma
How thick earths mantle?
The mantle is found between the core and the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is made up of mostly solid rock that is 1,802 miles thick.
What feature of the mantle allows movement of the earths crust occur?
The much of the mantle is solid but ductile. This allows it to convect, which aids in plate movement.
