In the mantle, rocks are in a semi-solid state known as magma. The mantle is made up of solid rock that can deform and flow slowly over long periods of time due to the extreme heat and pressure found in this layer of the Earth.
solid
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
Yes, the mantle is largely composed of igneous rock. It is made up of solid rock that is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. Magma from the mantle can solidify to form igneous rock when it reaches the Earth's surface.
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.

It's very high temperature down in mantle so it resulting a solid rock to change into "molten" state. The molten material in the mantle is magma.
solid
The Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner mantle are made up of solid rock and liquid rock.
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
The upper mantle is a solid layer of rock located beneath the Earth's crust. It is part of the Earth's mantle and extends from the base of the crust to a depth of about 660 kilometers. The upper mantle is mostly composed of peridotite, a dense rock made up of minerals like olivine and pyroxene.
the two layers of rock that made up of mantle is the solid rock and liquid rock
Not exactly--the mantle is comprised of semisolid rock, or magma.
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.
