What parts of the mantle contains molten material?
the asthenosphere and the lithosphere contain molten material.
What rock is formed by molten material?
a molten rock
What is unique about the rock in the asthenosphere?
They are highly molten, weak, capable of flowing.
What type of rock is in the asthenosphere?
Matter in the Asthenosphere is in the molten or semi-molten state. This is because its temperatures can peak at 3,000 degrees Celsius. Its composition consists of magnesium and iron silicates. The Asthenosphere plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the ocean of molten rock on which the continents float called?
There is no ocean of molten rock underneath the continents. Tectonic plates, both oceanic and continental, move on top of the ductile asthenosphere.
WHAT PART OF MANTLE CONTAINS MOLTEN MATERIAL?
the asthenosphere and the lithosphere contain molten material.
What parts of the mantle contains molten material?

What rock is formed by molten material?
a molten rock
What is unique about the rock in the asthenosphere?
They are highly molten, weak, capable of flowing.
What is the composition of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is composed of very hot, ductile ultramafic rock and is believed to be roughly 5% molten.
What Rocks formed by molten material?
a molten rock
What are the tectonic plates float on?
The continental plates float on asthenosphere, molten rock (lava).
What are the tectonic plates floating?
The continental plates float on asthenosphere, molten rock (lava).
The partially molten layer of Earth's mantle?
It is the asthenosphere. Because the lithosphere is a part of the crust and mantle. So that makes the asthenosphere underneath it because it is hard rock...
What cause rock to be igneous rock?
It starts with molten material [magma], when volcanic activity starts the molten material turns into igneous rock.
What is rock that is melted into liquid form?
More felsic than the original chemistry of the rock that was partially melted
