The temperature of the plastic mantle, or asthenosphere, is inferred to be about 1600 degrees Celsius.
2000 celcius
Inner Mantle: The average temperature is about 3000ºC Outer Mantle: The average temperature is about 2200ºC
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
asthenosphere
The state of matter in the lower mantle is stiff plastic (solid).
2000 celcius
The plastic zone is also called the asthenosphere,because in the solid bottom part of the mantle, the temperature is sufficient to make the rock plastic, meaning, it flows.
Inner Mantle: The average temperature is about 3000ºC Outer Mantle: The average temperature is about 2200ºC
The asthenosphere is made of soft rock and bends like plastic in the mantle.
Inner Mantle: The average temperature is about 3000ºC Outer Mantle: The average temperature is about 2200ºC
the upper-mantle rocks are heavier while the lower mantle rocks are semisolid like melted plastic
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Plastic
Yes. The mantle is composed of the plastic mantle, or the upper part, which is partially molten. The stiffer mantle is under it. it is not as molten
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
