What is the state of matter of the rock within the asthenosphere?

Since litho means rock that would be solid. There is some liquid rock, lava, in the mix. There is also water and oil.

Is super cooled magma is a state of matter?
Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
Does volume of crushed rock increase or decrease with size?
This question needs to be quantified. If a solid rock was crushed and all the rock matter was contained to be measured after crushing the rock you find the there is no change in the amount of matter it simply changed from one rock to many. However if the question is will the rock take up more space after crushed the answer is of yes it would depending on how many pieces it was broken into.
What state of matter has the greatest density?
there are three states of matter one is solid another is liquid and the last one is gas and the most dense out of them all is the solid because its like a rock while gas is like steam and liquid is water
What is the difference between matter and weight?
Matter has weight; weight is associated with matter. Matter can be visible; weight is a concept. Matter can change forms (water to ice to steam); weight has no transformation of such kind. A rock is a matter; the weight of a rock changes with altitude on earth and is lighter on Mars or the moon, while the mass of the rock does not change.
Which is heavier100 pounds of rock or 100 pounds of feathers?
Neither 100 pounds = 100 pounds no matter what it is 100 pounds of.
What is the state of matter of the rock within the stiffer matter?
solid
What is the state of matter of rock within the stiffer mantle?
solid
What type of rock is in the asthenosphere?
Matter in the Asthenosphere is in the molten or semi-molten state. This is because its temperatures can peak at 3,000 degrees Celsius. Its composition consists of magnesium and iron silicates. The Asthenosphere plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates.
What is one of the characteristics of the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a zone of weak material that exists below the lithosphere. The rock within this zone is easily deformed.
Is Asthenosphere a liquid rock?
No. The rock of the asthenosphere forms a ductile solid.
Does the temperature of the rock within the asthenosphere meet the melting point?
yes cuz its hot enuf
Why does rock in the asthenosphere behave differently from the rock above?
The rock in the asthenosphere behaves differently from the rock above because the rate of deformation is different.
Does lithosphere or asthenosphere contain partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle?
The Asthenosphere.
Why does most of the rock in the asthenosphere remain solid?
The rock in the asthenosphere is under immense pressure from the overlying rock. Increased pressure raises the melting point of most substances.
What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?
the inner core
Soft layer of rock in the mantle?
asthenosphere
What does the asthenosphere contain?
The asthenosphere contains ultramafic rock that is ductile due to the extreme heat and pressure it experiences.
