What is the difference between magma and magma chamber?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface. A magma chamber is a space, often beneath a volcano, where magma collects.
Partially molten, plastic-like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earths mantle?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
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.
When molten material hardens into the rock on the ocean floor the domains of the iron it contains?
line up in the direction of Earth's magnetic field
What is the molten material found on the earth's surface?
The molten material that reaches earth's surface is lava :)
Is the earth solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is partially molten. It is about 5% molten.
Is the Earth's asthenospere solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is partially molten. It is about 5% molten.
What is the partially molten layer of earth called?
The asthenosphere.
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
What is the source's of earth's magnetic field?
core of the earth contains the molten iron
What layer of the earth contains molten iron and nickel?
Its Is the mantle
What is important about Earth's mantle?
The most important thing to know is that it's partially solid, and partially molten. Convection occurs there and that's where the lava from volcanoes comes from.
Is the asthenosphere the partially molten layer of the earth's core?
The asthenosphere is partially molten; however, it is an interior layer which is separate from the Earth's inner and outer core. In fact, the asthenosphere is located directly under the lithosphere (the brittle outer shell of Earth), extending only a few hundred miles down from the surface.

Why do some partly molten material rise toward Earth's surface?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface and is lighter than the surrounding rock so it tends to rise. As it moves upward, the magma encounters colder rock and begins to cool.
What is the difference between magma and magma chamber?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface. A magma chamber is a space, often beneath a volcano, where magma collects.
Which part of earth stores all of its mass?
The Core of the Earth is molten metal, practically all IRON. It contains most of the Earth's Mass.
