Any surface feature that had to do with lithospheric plate movements, such as a mountain, mountain chain, or subduction volcano.
If anything is rock-solid, it will result in a flat landscape. This will mean that there will be no plateaus, deep sea trenches, volcanoes or mountains if the mantle were solid rock.
The solid part of the Earth's surface is called the crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is made up of rocks and minerals. The crust is divided into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below.
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.
Earths lower mantle lies just below the upper mantle extending from 400 to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This region primarily consists of dense, solid rock materials that experience high pressures and temperatures. The lower mantle plays a significant role in the Earth's mantle convection, which drives tectonic plate movements and heat transfer within the Earth.
It's only soft and plastic in that it is not as hard as the brittle rock of the crust and uppermost mantle.
In geological context the fairly solid and rocky surface of the Earth is formally referred to as the "crust", distinct from the mantle beneath it.
If anything is rock-solid, it will result in a flat landscape. This will mean that there will be no plateaus, deep sea trenches, volcanoes or mountains if the mantle were solid rock.
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
Take a walk outside. Then you will be walking on the Earth's solid surface.
The mantle! I remember learning this in geography :)
It is the Mantle.
The solid part of the Earth's surface is called the crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is made up of rocks and minerals. The crust is divided into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below.
the crust is dirt, the mantle is lava and the core is liquid and or solid metal
The mantle is found between the core and the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is made up of mostly solid rock that is 1,802 miles thick.
Magma
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.
Inner core (probably solid); outer core (probably liquid); mantle, crust.
