What else can I help you with?
In what phase can you find iron and nickel in the mantle?
The mantle does not contain free Iron or Nickel. It is made of siliceous minerals.
What rock will you find in the Mantle?
The mantle, or interior of the Earth is made up of mostly of rocks that have high amounts of silicon and aluminum. There is also an abundance of nickel and iron in the mantle.
What component would you least likely find in the Earth's mantle?
You would least likely find water in the Earth's mantle. The mantle is composed mainly of solid rock minerals, with little to no water present due to the high temperatures and pressures found at that depth.
What minerals are in the upper mantle?
The upper mantle is mainly composed of minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and garnet. These minerals form under high temperature and pressure conditions in the Earth's interior, contributing to the solid composition of the upper mantle.
How are the mantle and crust alike?
They both have minerals and rocks
How are minerals extracted from the mantle?
Minerals are extracted from the mantle through processes such as volcanic eruptions, where molten rock from the mantle (magma) reaches the surface and solidifies into mineral-rich rocks. These mineral-rich rocks are then mined or quarried to extract the desired minerals. Additionally, some minerals from the mantle may be found in oceanic crust and are extracted through underwater mining operations.
What kind of minerals are in the lower mantle?
Metal
What element most of the mantle?
The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar. These minerals form the bulk of the Earth's mantle due to their abundance and ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
What is the earth's mantle filled with?
The Earths mantle is filled with ferromagnesian rocks with minerals such as Olivine and Pyroxene.
What minerals are in the lower mantle?
-- peravskitte -- magnestowuttie -- perovskite
Do all minerals come from the oceans?
No. There's the crust, mantle, etc. which also contain minerals.
What element make up the upper mantle?
The upper mantle is composed mainly of silicate minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and garnet. These minerals are rich in magnesium and iron, which are the main elements found in the upper mantle.
