What else can I help you with?
Why do you think that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these main geologically active zones?
As the old crust enters the mantle it brings volatiles such as water with it. This lowers the melting point of the rock around it.This melted material rises to the earths surface under pressure along with gases and may erupt in a volcano.
Can rock be made of other rock?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made out of sediment, which is often other rocks ground down to powder. Metamorphic rocks are sedimentary rocks that have been changed (partially melted and hardened) by being exposed to extreme heat and pressure. So, yes.
This rock starts out as melted magma?
Igneous
Is bubble wrap a form of latex?
No! Bubble wrap is actually melted down q-tips melted down into the form of a guitar and then sculpted into the form of bubble wrap.
How is plastic melted?
Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.
What is the partially melted part of earth that carries the crust?
It is called the asthenosphere.
Where is the asthenospher located?
The asthenosphere is located in the upper part of the Earth's mantle, below the lithosphere. It is composed of partially molten rock that is ductile and flows slowly, allowing tectonic plates to move on top of it.
What boundary is oceanic lithosphere melted at?
Benioff zone
What rock is partially melted and able to flow?
Partially melted snow is........ partially melted snow!
Is pumice partially melted or not?
Pumice is a solid material; it is not melted although it used to be melted rock when it was originally formed by a volcano.
What is tiny partially melted ice pellets?
Sleet
What is the athenosphere made out of?
The asthenosphere is composed of partially melted, ductile rock that lies beneath the Earth's rigid lithosphere. It is located in the upper mantle and its low viscosity allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is melted rock on the earths is called?
Lava....when its under the earths crust its called magma.
The rock that makes up the is partially melted and able to flow?
asthenosphere
What is the melted rock called that flows in the earths mantel?
magma
What would you find in earths upper mantel?
Melted, plasticlike rocks
What is Hot melted rock found below earths crust?
the batcave
