Which layer of the earths layer has melted rock that moves like a thick liquid?
mantle
What are the characteristics of earths crust mantle core?
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
What Produced as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
an earthquake
Which layer the sun moves heat energy to the convective layer?
radiative layer
When volcanic island chain are formed what moves?
The mantle plume
What moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
What moves a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
Which layer of the earths layer has melted rock that moves like a thick liquid?
mantle
What part of earth moves around a special layer of the mantle?
The answer is Lithosphere!!!
What is the word that goes with this definition the crust and the outermost layer of the mantle that moves are?
the lithosphere.
Match the structure in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2 a moho barrier thinnest layer b oceanic crust layer that moves the crust c upper mantle located near the outer core d?
Moho barrier: Top of mantleOceanic crust: Thinnest layerUpper mantle: Moves the crustLower mantle: Borders liquid core
What is the mechanical layer of earths that is solid rock and moves the least?
mesosphere
How do you spell asthonshpere?
The correct spelling is "asthenosphere" -- the ductile upper layer of the Earth's mantle over which the crustal features or lithosphere moves.

What is a large crust layer that moves as one unit?
Technically, it's crust with an attached layer of brittle upper mantle, together known as the lithosphere; they're called lithospheric or tectonic plates.
The layer between earth's core and its crust is called?
There is no layer of melted rock directly below the Earth's crust. The upper mantle is composed of solid, but flexible rock which is prevented from melting by the pressure of surrounding material.
Why the mantle moves?
It moves because of convection currents
