The answer is magma.
The deeper layer.
The rock in the asthenosphere is under immense pressure from the overlying rock. Increased pressure raises the melting point of most substances.
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
heat and pressure
This layer of solid rock is called bedrock.
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.
Continents and oceans are located on the Earth's outermost layer, known as the crust. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which consists of solid rock that can flow under high pressure. The molten rock, or magma, is found in the Earth's innermost layer, the outer core and the inner core.
The layer of solid Earth that experiences tremendous pressure due to the overlying rock and materials is the inner core. This layer is composed mainly of solid iron and nickel, and the immense pressure causes the materials to remain in a solid state despite the high temperatures.
metamorphic rock
Rock can be changed into metamorphic rock by heat and pressure.
Under pressure. Compressed. Claustrophobic.
