Which combination of temperature and pressure is inferred to occur whitin earths stiffer mantle?
High temperature and high pressure are inferred to occur within Earth's stiffer mantle. As depth increases in the mantle, both temperature and pressure increase. This combination of high temperature and pressure allows for the solid rock to exhibit ductile behavior, resulting in the flow of solid material over long periods of time.
Which of the following is part of the Earths lithosphere SoilMagma None of these Mantle, magma, and soil Mantle?
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
Oh, dude, the inner mantle is definitely hotter than the outer mantle. Like, we're talking about temperatures reaching up to 4000°C in the inner mantle compared to a measly 500-900°C in the outer mantle. So, if you're looking for a hot spot, the inner mantle is where it's at.
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 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.
When rocks return to earths mantle to earths mantle they can eventually melt and become magma. and are the main factors that control this change.?
heat and pressure
Which layer of the Earths atmosphere is the pressure inferred to be 1.0 million atmospheres?
Stiffer mantle.
Why do few earthquake happen in earths mantle?
Few earthquakes happen in the earths mantle do to the fact that the mantle has a folded deformation. This means that the amount of pressure on the mantle caused it to deform.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water differ from the earths mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
What are three parts that make up earths mantle?
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
What part is the earths mantle?
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
Is it hot in the earths mantle?
Decay of radioactive elements in the mantle heats it.
What is the pressure of the earths mantle?
Earth's mantle extends to a depth of 2890 km, making it the thickest layer of Earth. The pressure, at the bottom of the mantle, is ~140 GPa (1.4 Matm). 1.4 Matm = 1.4 million atmospheres = 1.4 million x 14.7 = 20.58 million lbs per square inch
