the earth's mantle is full of lava so the lava is what makes it so hot

What are forms of a magma?
the mantle (2nd and thickest layer of the earth) has a lot of squishy extreamly hot rocks and sometimes the mantle gets too hot which makes some ocks melt and there getss so much precier that it has to go. then it moves torward the earths surfice. after years and years and years the magma builds up to the top of the volcano and there is so much preacure it lets go and then the magma is called lava
How does convection in the earths mantle help shape the geosphere?
It will move the earth's plates so there :)
How far down is the earths upper mantle?
It is just beneath the lithosphere, so about 200 feet.
What do you think would happen to the graphite in a pencil if it were in the mantle of earth?
It is so hot and so pressured in the mantle that a simple stick of graphite would most likely disintegrate in the violent mantle environment.
How does heat flow through Earth's mantle?
It flows by getting so hot.
What does earth look like inside?
The inside of the Earth has four different layers. The core is the earths heat source, a ball of lava. then there is the outer core, a bit cooler. finally comes another layer of mantle and then the crust (which is the land we walk on).
Why are earths internal temperatures so hot?
Earth interior is very hot due to high pressure and from radioactive decay.
Why is Reykjavik using geothermal energy?
Iceland sits right smack dab on a huge hotspot and so, the water underground right above the hot mantle rock makes steam, which is then harvested to make energy.
Does lava at hot spots originates in Earth's mantle?
i think so .we r learning idk dude
What causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?
Me because I am so hot
Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?
Simply put, the material that makes up Earth's mantle is opaque, so heat cannot pas through it by radiation.
The partially molten layer of Earth's mantle?
It is the asthenosphere. Because the lithosphere is a part of the crust and mantle. So that makes the asthenosphere underneath it because it is hard rock...
