What is the hot weak zone found within the upper mantle?
the asthenosphere.
How does hot spot form?
A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn'twhen the mantle is weak
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
Is magma found in the upper mantle?
I.am not sure but i think it is bc i believe the upper mantel is extremely hot
What are facts about earths upper mantle?
Temperature is about 2000 to 3000 degrees celsius maybe less.The mantle is hot but not the hottest layer.It is is the second layer of the Earth. The mantle is the thickest layer of the earth, it is the layer of the earth beneath the crust.Upper mantle and Lower mantle are the two parts of the mantle, The lower mantle is deeper and denser than the upper mantle .
what word best describes the hot weak inner part of the upper mantle which can flow?
asthenosphere
What is the hot weak zone found within the upper mantle?
the asthenosphere.
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
How does hot spot form?
A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn'twhen the mantle is weak
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!)
What is the athenosphere made out of?
Hot, softer upper mantle
What happens when a weak part in the crust moves over a hot spot in the mantle?
It forms volcanoes and sometimes islands like Hawaii.
The part of the earth between the core and the crust?
The part of the Earth between the core and the crust is the mantle. It is a layer of hot, solid rock that surrounds the Earth's core. The mantle is responsible for movements of tectonic plates and is divided into the upper and lower mantle.
Is the mantle of Earth's layer liquid?
The upper part is thick and fudge like, and the lower part is more like liquid. It's all hot, molten rock.
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
What is a description of the earths upper mantle?
The upper layer of the Earth of how I'd describe is It's hot and is 1000 degrees
Is magma found in the upper mantle?
I.am not sure but i think it is bc i believe the upper mantel is extremely hot
