The Earth's mantle is the thickest part of the interior, about 2900 km thick, and has a temperature of about 1000 degrees C. This makes it elastic : it can be pushed down by the weight of the crust, and return to its original position when the load decreases. This has occurred when large ice caps (such as Greenland and Antarctica) add to the weight of the crust.
What else can I help you with?
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What are the funtions of the quadriceps?
Quadriceps contracts to extend the knee joint. Rectus femoris, the part of quadriceps flex the hip joint on the thigh.
Extremely high temperatures most likely found in this part of earths atmosphere?
Thermosphere
In what part of the earth's interior does the temperature rise the fastest?
This is in the mantle or upper mantle.
What is the ridge layer of earths surface made up of the crust and part of the mantle called?
lithoshpere
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Which part of the earths interior is thought to be a solid?
the inner core
What part of the earths interior is like the soup in the pot?
The outer core.
What happens to pressure as you move outward from earths interior?
Pressure decreases as you move outward from Earth's interior. This decrease is due to the weight of the rock layers above exerting less force as you move towards the surface. The pressure gradient is part of the reason why we have different layers within the Earth.
What part of earths interior is like soup in a pot and which is like the burner on the stove?
eat me
What are the parts of earths interior?
There three basic part of earth are The crust The mantle The core
Which is not part of earths interior?
The atmosphere is not part of Earth's interior. The Earth's interior comprises the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the planet and is part of the Earth's external environment.
Which part of earths interior is made mostly of nickel and iron and has liquid and solid parts?
The core..............
What part of the body prevents movement?
Muscles flex and tense, so they can move or prevent movement.
What part of the earth's interior do the plates move on?
The outer mantle
What makes an elephants trunk move?
Elephants have muscles and tendons just like any other part of the body that flex and move the trunk.
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
