What else can I help you with?
Why is the Earth's mantle solid?
Yes, the mantle is techincally a solid. If you want to get techincal, however, it is a viscoelastic material, meaning that over short invertvals it behaves as an elastic solid, but over the course of tens of thousands to millions of years it flows like a viscous liquid.
What keeps the metals at the center of the earth from moving?
The intense pressure and high temperatures at the center of the Earth keep the metal elements in a solid state. Additionally, the Earth's solid inner core is believed to be rotating, which may provide stability and prevent the metal from moving too freely.
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.
Is the lower mantle solid or liquid?
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
What is the state of matter of the asthenosphere?
Solid
Explain what keeps the mantle from cooling down and becoming solid?
The mantle's heat is primarily maintained through the decay of radioactive elements within the Earth's core, which generates thermal energy that keeps the mantle molten. Additionally, heat from the core and the mantle's own internal heat contribute to maintaining the mantle's temperature and preventing it from cooling down and solidifying.
What is solidifiction?
Solidification means the process of a liquid becoming a solid, such as liquid metal cooling to become solid
What is a synonym for credulous?
the process of becoming hard or solid by cooling or drying or crystallization
What is the deffintion igneous?
Igneous rock is formed by magma (molten rock) cooling and becoming solid.
Which of these causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?
The lower mantle remains solid due to high pressure, which increases the melting point of minerals. The pressure at such depths is so immense that it keeps the minerals stable in a solid state despite the high temperatures.
Is mantle a solid or what?
it is a solid.
Is the mantle plasma?
No. The mantle is solid.
Is the lower mantle of the Earth a solid or liquid?
the lower mantle of earth is a solid
Is the earth a solid or a liquid?
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
What keeps the very dense gas at the core of the sun from becoming a solid?
A.gravity B.solar flares. C.intense heat D.pressure ?
What are the parts of eart?
I hope u mean earth. The parts of earth , has a core, a mantle, and the crust. The core is made of solid nickel, the pressure keeps it solid. The mantle is made of molten rock and metals. The crust is made of basalt and continetal plates,. this is where we live on =]. hope this helps
How do you make gas ice?
Gas can be turned into solid by a process called deposition. This involves cooling the gas (such as carbon dioxide) to a temperature where it directly changes from gas to solid without becoming a liquid first. The resulting solid is what is commonly referred to as dry ice.
