What else can I help you with?
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
The lower mantle is primarily solid, although some areas may experience partial melting to create magma. The solid nature of the lower mantle is due to high pressure, which helps keep the minerals in a solid state despite high temperatures.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
Why isn't earths entire mantle liquid?
The mantle isn't 100% liquid because magma solidifies near the crust and becomes plastic in texture and not fluid but eventually cools down to form the lithosphere. Lower parts of the mantle are not liquid because the high pressure keeps rock from melting.
Is upper mantle solid or liquid?
The upper mantle is solid, but it can behave in a ductile manner over long timescales under high temperatures and pressures. This allows for the slow flow of solid rock over millions of years, a process known as mantle convection.
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.
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
Magma
Is the earth a solid or a liquid?
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
What is each layer of earths starting from earths center include both layers of the core and all of the layers of the mantle?
Inner core (probably solid); outer core (probably liquid); mantle, crust.
What are two divisiosn of the earths core?
, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.
Is mantle a gas liquid or a solid?
solid
Is the lower mantle of the Earth a solid or liquid?
the lower mantle of earth is a solid
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
The lower mantle is primarily solid, although some areas may experience partial melting to create magma. The solid nature of the lower mantle is due to high pressure, which helps keep the minerals in a solid state despite high temperatures.
Is Mercury's mantle made of a liquid or a solid?
Solid.
Is the uppermost part of the mantle a liquid or solid?
Solid!
Is the mantle solid liquid or other?
Liquid I Think
Why does the earths mantel remain in a liquid state?
The Earth's mantle remains in a solid state, not a liquid state. The mantle is mostly solid rock that flows like a very viscous fluid over long timescales due to high temperatures and pressures, but it is not a true liquid.
