What else can I help you with?
Inside earths what forms due to the different temperatures of the core and mantle?
A convection cell.
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
Magma
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What lies below the earths mantle?
The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.
Explain where the mantle is and what it does for mollusks?
The mantle is the fold of tissue which protects the inside mass. If a shell is not present, then the mantle forms it.
Is aluminum in the earths mantle?
Yes, aluminum is present in the Earth's mantle, primarily in the form of aluminum silicates and other minerals. It is one of the more abundant elements in the Earth's crust and mantle, contributing to the composition of various rock types, including basalt and peridotite. The concentration and forms of aluminum can vary depending on the local geological conditions and the specific minerals present.
What forms the the crust and upper mantle?
The athenosphere
Magma forms when rocks begin to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
What layer of rock forms the Earth's crust?
mantle
What layer of rock that forms the earth's crust?
mantle
In what layer of the earth do most life forms?
Mantle
