earths mantle extends to a depth of 2890 km, making it the thickest layer of Earth. The pressure, at the bottom of the mantle, is ~140 GPa (1.4 M). The mantle is composed of siligate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust. Although solid, the high temperatures within the mantle cause the silicate material to be sufficiently ductile that it can flow on very long timescales. convection of the mantle is expressed at the surface through the motions of tectonic plates. The melting point and viscosity of a substance depends on the pressure it is under. As there is intense and increasing pressure as one travels deeper into the mantle, the lower part of the mantle flows less easily than does the upper mantle (chemical changes within the mantle may also be important). The viscosity of the mantle ranges between 10 and 10 pa-s, depending on depth. In comparison, the viscosity of water is approximately 10 pa-s and that of pitch is 10 Pa·s. Soo Its Not ;)

What are the three major divisions layers of the moons interior?
The three layers of the moon are similar to the layers of the Earth. These layers are the crust, the mantle, and the core.
How many layers does the eart's atmosphere have?
4, The crust, mantle, outer core, Inner core.
What the layers of the moon in order from the inside out?
I think it's: Core, Crust, Upper Mantle, and lower mantle
How do you know the earth is not hollow?
wow this is a stupid question it has the crust mantle core inner core NOT HOLLOW
What three layers does the moon have?
1.CORE The very heart of the moon. 2.LOWER MANTLE The asthenosphere, from where the majority of moonquakes emanate. 3. UPPER MANTLE The lithosphere which is the most rigid part of the mantle. 4.CRUST The anorthosite crust is the external envelope of the moon. 5.BASALTS OF THE MARIA Local covering of the moon. The three layers of the Moon: Crust, Mantle, and the Core.
What are the layers of the terrestrial planets?
There are three, the crust, the mantle, and the core.
What is the layer between a planets crust and its core?
It is called the Mantle.
What layer of the earth is below the crust?
The interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a highly viscous layer between the crust and the outer core. As such, the core (split into the solid inner and liquid outer layers) is below the mantle.
Is the crust the most expansive layer of earth?
The interior of Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core.
How are the inner planets alike in terms of there structure?
They have a crust of rock, mantle, and a core made up of similar stuff, but Venus would be an exception to this rule.
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
What are the 3 main layers of the earth?
MantleCrustcore
What are the zone between core and crust?
The chemical layer of the Earth known as the mantle lies between the crust and the core.
What is the thick rocky layer around earths core?
The core of the earth is surrounded by the mantle.The earth's core is called the inner core. Just outside that is the outer core, and it is liquid. Outside the liquid outer core is the mantle.
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
Where are the atmosphere crust core hydrosphere lithosphere and mantle located?
crust mantle liquid core solid core
What is the order of earths layers from most dense to less dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
