What is the layer of the earth above the core called?
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
What is the outer layer of the rock?
The outer layer of an object refers to the layer on the outside that is in place to protect it. Without an outside layer an object of the Earth could be tarnished.
A Solid layer of rock under the soil is called?
This layer of solid rock is called bedrock.
What is the layer of the earth that is mostly rock?
There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."
Which layer of earth is thin rigid rock layer?
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock
What is the name of the liquid rock layer of the Earth?
Magma. It is lava once it leaves the Earth's crust.
What is the layer of rock under Earth's surface called?
the crust
What is another word for rock layer?
Another name for Earth's or any other planets rock layer is called "The Crust"
What the Earth's surface called?
It is called the surface, but the outer layer of rock beneath the land and the oceans is called the Earth's crust.
What is the earth's surface?
It is called the surface, but the outer layer of rock beneath the land and the oceans is called the Earth's crust.
What is a large lump of rock orbiting around the earth called?
The large lump of rock orbiting around the earth is called the moon
What is the melted rock near the center of the Earth called?
It's called the liquid iron and nickel of the outer core. There is no layer of melted rock near the center of the Earth.
What is the layer of the earth above the core called?
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
What is the solid rock layer or other matter under the surface of the Earth called?
substratum
The layer between earth's core and its crust is called?
There is no layer of melted rock directly below the Earth's crust. The upper mantle is composed of solid, but flexible rock which is prevented from melting by the pressure of surrounding material.
What layer of the earth is made of rock and soil?
regolith, outer layer of the earth is made of rock and soil.
What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
