Which layer makes up the majority of earths interior?
The mantle is the largest layer in the Earth's interior.
Describe the layer of earths interior that is the largest?
the mantle is the largest layer of Earth's interior..... and a very hot one!!!!
What layers are found in the earths interior?
The Earth's interior consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is composed of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, composed of solid iron and nickel.
All of the energy that drives earths rock cycle comes from?
The energy that drives Earth's rock cycle primarily comes from Earth's interior, specifically from the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle and core. This heat drives processes like convection currents in the mantle, which in turn contribute to the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of new rocks through processes like melting and solidification.
How does heat transfer in earth?
Heat transfers in the Earth primarily through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through the Earth's crust and mantle as heat moves from the interior towards the surface. Convection involves the movement of hot magma in the mantle, creating the motion of tectonic plates. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves emitted by the Earth's core.
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Which structural layer of earths interior have scientists concluded is liquid?
the mantle
Which layer makes up the majority of earths interior?
The mantle is the largest layer in the Earth's interior.
What are oceans current are formed by what?
Moving plates in the earths mantle.
Name the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
The mantle
What are the parts of earths interior?
There three basic part of earth are The crust The mantle The core
What are these parts primarily made up of in the earths interior?
they are crust and the mantle and also the core
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cools down?
the convection currents will stop
What would happend to the convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cooled down?
They will stop.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
