By which process is the earths crust returned to the mantle?
subduction
What process causes earths plates to move?
The process of 'earth plates moving' is Alfred Wageners theory of continental drift. This theory proposes that convenction currents in the earths mantle provides a 'cushion' on which the plates can move.
What element is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle?
The element carbon is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle.
The rock cycle is a continuous process that changes materials found?
in both the Earth's lithosphere and the Earth's mantle.
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of earths mantle and earths?
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of Earth's mantle and Earth's Crust.

How many layers in earths mantle?
there are 7 layers in earths mantle.
How does Scientists divide earths interior into the crust mantle and core based on?
Scientists divide Earth's interior into the crust, mantle, and core based on their composition and physical properties. The crust is the outermost layer and is made of solid rock, the mantle is predominantly solid but can flow slowly over geological timescales, and the core is mostly metallic and divided into a liquid outer core and a solid inner core based on their differing states of matter.
Earths middle layer?
the mantle
What is the color of the earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals, which give it a greenish-gray color. However, the mantle is located beneath the Earth's crust, so its color is not visible on the surface.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle

What element is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle?
The element carbon is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle.
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
