What else can I help you with?
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
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.
What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
What is the state of the upper mantle?
The upper mantle is a solid layer of rock located beneath the Earth's crust. It is part of the Earth's mantle and extends from the base of the crust to a depth of about 660 kilometers. The upper mantle is mostly composed of peridotite, a dense rock made up of minerals like olivine and pyroxene.
What layers make up the mantle?
The mantle consists of two main layers: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over time. The lower mantle is composed of solid rock under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Is the earth a solid or a liquid?
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
What are the two tyoes of mantle and how are they differet?
the upper mantle (lithosphere) which is solid in nature and the lower Mantle (mesosphere)which is liquid in nature
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
Name the layer of the earth between the crust and the core that is the part liquid part solid?
The layer of the Earth between the crust and the core that is partially liquid and partially solid is the mantle. The upper mantle is solid rock, while the lower mantle is semi-fluid due to high temperatures and pressure.
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
Which of the Earth's layers is located just below the mantle?
The layer located just below the mantle is the outer core. It is composed of a liquid layer of iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
What layer is directly beneath the Earth's crust is it a solid liquid or gas?
The Earth's crusts floats on the so-called upper mantle. The upper Mantle is predominantly solid but it can act like a fluid. You could compare it to soft plastic in that respect.
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
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
Is Mercury's mantle made of a liquid or a solid?
Solid.
