It causes a lowering of the melting temperature of the material, which in turn can cause partial melting of the mantle material leading to the formation of magma.
New rock is added to the ocean floor through a process called seafloor spreading, where magma rises from the Earth's mantle at mid-ocean ridges, cools and solidifies to form new oceanic crust. This process helps expand the ocean floor and contributes to the movement of tectonic plates.
the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
Continental rock is less dense than mantle rock.
You would least likely find water in the Earth's mantle. The mantle is composed mainly of solid rock minerals, with little to no water present due to the high temperatures and pressures found at that depth.
the plasic like rock of the lower mantle is the asthenosphere
earthquakes and volcanoes

As the oceanic crust descends beneath the continental crust, the mantle rock is subjected to high pressure and temperature. This causes the mantle rock to partially melt, producing magma that can rise to the surface and form volcanoes. The interaction of the descending oceanic crust with the continental crust can also lead to earthquake activity.
The oceanic crust is force down into the mantle in a process called subduction. The subducting oceanic plate will introduce water into the hot mantle, causing some of the rock to melt. The molten rock will rise through the overriding continental crust to form volcanoes.
Magma

The Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner mantle are made up of solid rock and liquid rock.
A magma.
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
It is folded and uplifted, or subducted into the mantle, depending on the type of convergent boundary.
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
