Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
Yes the upper mantle is solid. The lower mantle however is not.
What kind of material is found in the MIDDLE mantle?
The middle mantle is made up of silicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
Which layer of earth contains iron rich silicate rock?
Iron rich silicate rock can be found in the mantle, the oceanic crust, and the continental crust.
Which boundary separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle?
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
the earths crust and the rigid upper mantle
Does a crust separate the crust and the mantle?
No, instead of another crust, the sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovičić discontinuity separates the crust from the iron rich mantle.
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
Yes the upper mantle is solid. The lower mantle however is not.
What kind of material is found in the MIDDLE mantle?
The middle mantle is made up of silicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
What pressure is the mantle?
23 g/cookies 5

The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.
How are the three layers of the mantle alike?
They all formed from minerals rich in the elements iron, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen.
Which seismic discontinuity forms the boundary between the crust and the mantle?
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovičić discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', forms the boundary between the basalt rich crust and the planet's underlying, iron rich mantle.
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
the earths crust and the rigid upper mantle
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
All of Earths layers?
-Crust (Lithosphere-crust and upper mantle) Solid -Mantle (Asthenosphere (top thin layer) is 1-5% liquid because it contains some silicon. The rest is solid because it only contains perioditite-magnesium-rich) -Outer core (iron-rich) liquid -Inner core (iron and nickel-rich) solid (because of the pressure)
What is the difference between the inner core and the mantle?
The mantle is a part of a terrestrial planet or other rocky body large enough to ... encloses the iron-rich hot core.The inner core of the Earth , its innermost part as detected by seismological ... rigidly connected to Earth's solid mantle.
