What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
Is the upper or lower mantle dense?
No, it is hotter because it is closer to the inner core
Why is the upper mantle solid?
the entire mantle is solid because the pressure is so great the rock are unable to melt.
Which of the Earth's layers is located just below the mantle?
Upper Mantlemantle
Does magma come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?
upper mantle
Why is the lower mantle denser the the upper mantle?
The lower mantle is under greater pressure than the upper mantle, compressing the rock into a denser form.
What is the least rigid part of the mantle?
The upper mantle is less rigid because the pressure is lower
What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
What causes pressure to cause diamonds in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.
Is the upper or lower mantle dense?
No, it is hotter because it is closer to the inner core
Why is the upper mantle solid?
the entire mantle is solid because the pressure is so great the rock are unable to melt.
What are three differences between the upper and lower mantle?
Temperature Density and Pressure
Which of the Earth's layers is located just below the mantle?
Upper Mantlemantle
Is the second layer of the earth the upper mantle or the lower mantle?
upper mantle
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.
What three differences between the upper and lower mantle?
They would differ in temperature, mineralogy, density, and pressure.
What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
