No. The solid state of a metal is more dense than its liquid state, so it sinks.
Dross is a term used to describe impurities or scum that float on the surface of molten metal.
No. The inner core is composed of solid metal, mostly an iron-nickel alloy.
The inner core is a solid, dense ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth. It is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is also made of iron and nickel but in a molten state. The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Molten rock is generally less dense than solid rock because the atoms in a molten state are more spread out and have more freedom to move. When molten rock cools and solidifies, the atoms pack together more tightly, increasing the density of the rock.
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
A metal is actually solid beforwe application of high heat,a metal becomes molten when the heat is high enough to enable breakage of bonds between molecules of the metal such that the molecules are free to move as in liqiud.so a molten metal becomes solid when molecules form bond again as in solid.
Dross is a term used to describe impurities or scum that float on the surface of molten metal.
Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.
Solidify...?
Dross - solid metal scum or debris floating on molten metal
No. It is a solid metallic alloy.
Molten ore refers to metal in a liquid state, typically resulting from heating raw ore material to high temperatures. This molten form allows for easier extraction and processing of the metal from the ore.
the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.
The solidification of molten metal is an exothermic process. During this phase change, the metal releases heat as it transitions from a liquid to a solid state. This release of heat occurs because the molecules in the liquid metal lose energy and arrange themselves into a more stable solid structure.
Tectonic plates float on an underlying molten layer.
No, the mantle is not made of molten metal. It is a layer of solid rock that lies beneath the Earth's crust and above the core. The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals.
It is widely scientifically believed that the inner core (deepest part of Earth) is made of solid iron. However the inner core is surrounded by an outer core of iron and nickel that is believed to be molten material.
