What else can I help you with?
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What brings material from the mantle to the earths surface?
What brings material from the Mantle to the Earth's Surface is rock...
In what part of the earth's interior does the temperature rise the fastest?
This is in the mantle or upper mantle.
In the Earth's mantle a cycle occurs where cool dense material sinks and warm buoyant material rises. This process which is closely related to tectonic plate motion is?
called mantle convection. In this process, cooler, denser material from the upper mantle sinks towards the core, while warmer, less dense material rises to the surface. This cyclical movement drives the movement of tectonic plates, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. Mantle convection is a key component of the Earth's internal dynamics and contributes to the planet's ongoing geological evolution.
What do geologists call the crust and the upper most mantle?
Lithosphere
What are molten material in the mantle?
Yes. The mantle is composed of the plastic mantle, or the upper part, which is partially molten. The stiffer mantle is under it. it is not as molten
Where do you get your magma from?
Magma comes from the melting of material in the crust or upper mantle.
Where is the density of the material greater in the mantle?
The density of the mantle increases with depth due to the increase in pressure and temperature. The lower mantle, in particular the part known as the D'' layer, is where the density of the material is greater due to the higher pressure and temperatures compared to the upper mantle.
What is the sinking process that complete the lower mantle convection cell?
The sinking process in the lower mantle convection cell occurs when cooler, denser material from the upper mantle descends into the lower mantle. As this material sinks, it displaces the hotter, less dense material in the lower mantle, which then rises toward the upper mantle. This movement creates a continuous cycle of convection, facilitating heat transfer within the Earth and influencing geological processes such as plate tectonics. The sinking process is driven by thermal and compositional differences within the mantle.
How do you spell the anthenosphere?
The athenosphere is the layer of material (upper mantle) immediately below the Earth's crust.
Is the second layer of the earth the upper mantle or the lower mantle?
upper mantle
What is the name of the lower part of mantle and the upper part of mantle?
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
What parts of the mantle contains molten material?
The upper part of the mantle, known as the asthenosphere, contains molten material. This region is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. Deeper parts of the mantle, such as the lower mantle, contain solid rock due to higher pressures and temperatures.
What material do scientists believe makes up large part of the upper mantle?
A mineral called peridotite.
How do you make a sentence with upper mantle?
The crust and upper mantle make up the earth.
Is the upper mantle part of the lithosphere or asthenosphere?
The The crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle form the lithosphere. The asthenosphere, which is still in the upper mantle, is the next layer down.
What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
