the mantle
That would be the inner and outer mantle. Though every day, some solidifies as it cools, but then sinks back down and re-solidifies. This is known as convection. For Odyssey asthenosphere

What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
What does high pressure move towards?
Air always flows from High Pressure towards Low Pressure. Wind is caused by the pressure gradient difference. In a high pressure system, within the Northern Hemisphere, air flows clockwise, outwards and downwards; in a low pressure system (in the NH), air flows anti-clockwise, inwards and upwards.
Where does magma get its heat from and how is it maintained?
The shifting of tectonic plates causes extreme friction, thus heat. The heat is only maintained as long as the magma remains under high pressure. Ounce it's released, it begins to lose heat rapidly.
The wind flows clockwise around an area of pressure?
Wind flows clockwise around high pressure in the northern hemisphere. If you are in the southern hemisphere, it is clockwise around low pressure. The reason for the difference is the Coriolis Force.
difference between lava ana magma?

What is the layer of the earth that is composed of rock yet flows due to extreme heat and pressure called?
mantel

Why fountain pen overflow in space?
The pressure in the bulb of the fountain pen is 1 atmosphere as it is loaded with ink on the surface of earth. As we travel away from earth the pressure drops, so in the space where pressure is subatmospheric, the ink flows out,from inside out as favoured by the pressure gradient. Padmanbahan Raghu, INDIA
What is meaning of artesien?
Wells made by boring into the earth till the instrument reaches water, which, from internal pressure, flows spontaneously like a fountain.
How do volcanoes form when it erupts on earth?
volcanoes form when there is a crack in the earth's crust and a chamber of hot rocks(magma chamber) builds up pressure and eventually lava flows out of the crack

The pressure at which electricity flows?
That would be voltage.
What is the effect on velocity and pressure if a liquid flows in a convergent pipe?
I think velocity is directly proportionate to its applying pressure.
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.
Does steam gas and dust pile up harden and form a volcano?
Steam and gas cannot pile up. Stratovolcanoes are composed of piles of volcanic ash ("dust") and lava flows. Cinder cones are composed of piles of rock fragments. Shield volcanoes are composed of layers of lava flows.
