What area of earths interior is molten?
The outer core
What forms when molten material from beneath earth's surface cools but doesn't hardens?
Ingenious rocks form when molten material under the earths surface cools. Not only does the molten cool it does not harden.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
Molten rock that reaches the earths surface is called?
When the molten rock is actually flowing on the earth, it is called lava. When it is contained, such as in a volcano, it is called magma.
What is molten rock material that flows over the earths surface?
The molten rock material that flows over the earth's surface is known as magma. This is what will be emitted from a volcanic eruption.
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
Does earth's molten core affect gravity?
First: The earths core is not molten, it is a very dense solid mass, kept solid by the intense pressure on it. Second: It is the layer around this core that is molten, and yes it does influence gravity, but more so earths magnetism.
What is a molten rock from earths mantle?
If it were molten, it would be called magma.
Where does the convection that causes earths magnetic field?
The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's molten outer core.
Is molten rock on earths surface?
lava
What is molten rock on earths surface.?
lava
What keeps the rocks inside the earth in molten state?
Radioactive decay in the inner core of k40 U238 and Th232 cause the earths internal heat plus lithostatic pressure (pressure of the overlying rocks).
What molten material is below the earths service?
Magma
What area of earths interior is molten?
The outer core
The possible source of earths magnetic core is?
The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.
What is a molten rock beneath earths surface called?
magma
What molten material is beneath earths surface?
