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
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.
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
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.
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.
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.

Stiffer 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.

you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
Decay of radioactive elements in the mantle heats it.
