The layer of solid rock that flows very slowly?
asthenosphere
The layer made of solid rock that slowly flows?
asthenosphere
What is the plastic like layer made of soild rock that flows slowly?
asthenosphere
What is the semi rigid layer of solid rock that flows very slowly called?
The rock layer beneath the Earth's surface that slowly flows is the mantle. (Given enough time, all rocks, even the most solid, will flow through molecular motion.)The mantle is a slowly convecting layer of rock which flows in order to transfer heat from the core to the Earth's surface. It is this convection that drives the movements of the continents and can cause volcanic mountains to form.The athenosphere is the highly viscous, mechanically-weak and ductilely-deforming upper mantle of the Earth. It is the zone upon which the great rigid and brittle lithospheric plates of the Earth's crust move about. However, the whole mantle is flowing, albeit very slowly.
What part of earth is solid but stil moves and flows slowly?
The mantle under the crust it is made of molten rock material

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.
A Solid layer of rock under the soil is called?
This layer of solid rock is called bedrock.
What is the solid layer of rock beneath the solid?
== == This layer is called bedrock.
What is the soft layer of rock in the earths mantle?
The soft layer of rock in the Earth's mantle is called the asthenoshere. The asthenoshere is a solid but able to flow slowly.
How far beneath earth surface would you have to to find solid rock that flows slowly?
Anywhere from 5 to 70 miles, roughly, the range of thickness of the lithosphere.
What do you call the solid metal layer?
cool solid rock
