Extremely hot rock being pressured by the crust, which is so hot it's partially melted, kind of like a half-eaten ice cream cone outside on the hottest day of summer. The mantle has much higher iron and magnesium than the crust, and it is also on the verge of melting, as it's temperature is on the very edge of the melting point. Olvine, Garnet, Spinel, and Pyroxene are minerals you would find if you could mine there, although a person would be incinerated in seconds if they managed to dig that deep. Deeper in the mantle, minerals become unstable and are replaced with mineral polymorphs, which have extremely similar chemical composition, but they do have different structures. If you need more information, one of the related searches may help you.

What would you least likely find in the earths mantle?
NICKEL
What would you find in earths upper mantel?
Melted, plasticlike rocks
What is composed of oceanic or continental crust and upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle consist of hard rocks which form the moving plates of the outer layer of Earth.
What is the plates that floating on the upper layer of the earth's mantle?
Plate tectonics... I wish you would be more specific.
What is the composition of the athenosphere?
The Athenosophere is the layer below the lithosphere in the mantle. It can bend like plastic, but if you kicked it, you would stub your toe.
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
What would you least likely find in the earths mantle?
NICKEL
What would be least likely to find in the Earths mantle?
Nickel
What is a molten rock from earths mantle?
If it were molten, it would be called magma.
What would a change in the earths core have an effect on?
convection currents in the mantle
What is oceanic lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
What is the oceanic lithosphere?
The lithosphere is composed of crust and hard upper mantle. The oceanic lithosphere would be hard upper mantle and basaltic oceanic crust.
What is the Material of upper mantle?
Your answer would be melted rock, iron, and nickel
What is a liquid rock called?
That depends where it is. On the surface of the planet it would be lava and in the earths core it would be the mantle.
If convection in the mantle increased how would the earths crust be affected?
there would be more earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions
Where would you draw a line on the Earths layers to show the bottom of the lithosphere?
Between mantle and crust
What would happen to the earths plates if the mantle completely cooled down?
They'd stop moving.
