What minerals are in the upper mantle?
One is oxygen.
Where is the lower mantle in the inside earth?
Well there is the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and the inner core. So, the lower mantle is the 3rd one down.
Why the crust and the solid upper mantle are taken as one layer?
cause it very bobo
One of many large pieces of the earth's crust and upper mantle is called?
A plate
How does the Earths mantle rock differ from crust?
The crust is the uppermost part of the earth. It is also the coolest and least dense. While the mantle is a warmer and dense. The mantle is made up of the Asthenosphere and the Lithosphere. The lithosphere floats in many plates on top of the taffy-like asthenosphere. The Lithosphere is made up of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.
What is the abundance of olivine?
Olivine is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's upper mantle, comprising up to 50% of some mantle rocks. It is also common in meteorites and on the Moon and Mars. However, it is less common on the Earth's surface due to weathering processes that break it down into other minerals.
Why is the lower mantle more rigid and dense then the asthenosphere in the upper mantle?
The lower mantle is older and cooler than the upper mantle. Thank you for reading this I'm comment if you like one direction(: hehe

What is Earth's upper mantle?
The asthenosphere is the upper part of Earth's mantle. It is partially molten (plastic rheology) and mechanically detached from the lithosphere, which is mostly the Earth's crust (but also a little bit of upper mantle). The density of the upper mantle is your mom! (yo mamma!)

How is metamorphic rocks organically made?
rocks pile on other rocks pushing them downward, as they reach about one eighth of the way towards the mantle the pressure and heat make metamorphic rocks

How is the earth's crust different from the mantle in three ways?
The mantle is under the earth crust and is made of mostly peridotite, which is a denser rock than that of the igneus, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks found in the crust. The crust ranges in temperature from 200 - 400 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle however ranges in temperature from 500 - 900 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle has two layers and upper layer and a lower layer; whereas the crust has only one layer.
What are the characteristics of earths crust mantle core?
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
