Is the mantle part of the earth a solid or liquid?
The mantle consists of molten rock. Therefore, it made up of a very thick, hot liquid referred to as magma.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
no its made out of solid rock but there is some liquid rock too called magma.
What is the uppermost part of the mantle that has liquid and plastic properties called?
Asthenosphere
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.
A very long lived magma source located deep in the mantle is called?
The term hot spot is used to describe a very long-lived magma source located deep in the mantle. J. Tuzo Wilson is credited with having originated the concept of hot spots.
Who said there are currents of hot liquid in the mantle?
Me.
Is the mantle a solid or something else?
The mantle layer of the planet Earth is made of hot liquid rock (called magma). The crust, upon which we live and type, floats on the mantle.
How can mantle flow because its made of hot liquid magma?
Magma in the mantle moves in a current called a convection current. A convection current is a circular flow of a substance in which a hot substance rises, cools, sinks, gets hot again, and repeats. In this way, magma in the mantle flows in currents of more hot or more cool magma.
Is the mantle part of the earth a solid or liquid?
The mantle consists of molten rock. Therefore, it made up of a very thick, hot liquid referred to as magma.
What is a brief description of the mantle?
A solid layer made of iron and a nicel
What is the earth's surface floating on?
The Earth's crust floats on top of a layer called the mantle, which is composed of hot liquid rock (which sometimes erupts out of volcanoes, and is called magma).
How does the Mantle of the Earth affect the other sections?
the crust floats on top of the mantle because the mantle is hot, slushy liquid and the crust is solid rock.
What is the hot fluid of the mantle called?

What is the mantle of?
It is composed of very hot rock that is "plastic" (slowly moving and deforming). It is not as liquid as the outer core, or the magma that separates the crust from the mantle.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
no its made out of solid rock but there is some liquid rock too called magma.
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
Yes the upper mantle is solid. The lower mantle however is not.
What is the uppermost part of the mantle that has liquid and plastic properties called?
Asthenosphere
