the mantle is made up of solid hot rock.
What else can I help you with?
Continents float on the Earth's mantle because continental rocks are 'blank' than mantle rock.?
Continental rock is less dense than mantle rock.
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.
What is the plastic like rock of the lower mantle called?
the plasic like rock of the lower mantle is the asthenosphere
Where would mantle rock be the densest?
The mantle rock would be densest where it is closest to the Earth's core, which is at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. This is due to the high pressure and temperature conditions at this depth.
A majority of the melts in the Earth form through the partial melting of ultramafic mantle rock These newly-formed magmas are?
Rich in magnesium and iron due to their origin from ultramafic mantle rock. They are usually less viscous compared to melts formed from other types of rock. The composition of these magmas can vary depending on the degree of partial melting and the specific mantle source.
What are the Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner Mantle are made up of?
The Asthenospheric mantle and the Inner mantle are made up of solid rock and liquid rock.
WHAT ARE Mantle rocks classified as?
Mantle rock is classified as ultramafic igneous rock.
Is solid rock located deep in the mantle called magma?
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.
What are two layers of rock that made up of mantle?
the two layers of rock that made up of mantle is the solid rock and liquid rock
Is the earth mantle a layer of hot rock?
Not exactly--the mantle is comprised of semisolid rock, or magma.
When rock in earth's mantle melt what does it become?
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.
Is igneous rock in the mantle?
Yes, the mantle is largely composed of igneous rock. It is made up of solid rock that is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. Magma from the mantle can solidify to form igneous rock when it reaches the Earth's surface.
Continents float on the Earth's mantle because continental rocks are 'blank' than mantle rock.?
Continental rock is less dense than mantle rock.
What layer of earth is hot rock?
The mantle is the hot rock.
Do slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle?
Yes. It's true that slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle
When rock in the mantle cools does it sink or rise?
When rock in the mantle cools, it becomes denser and can sink due to its increased weight compared to surrounding material. This process can lead to convection currents in the mantle, with cooler, denser material sinking and warmer material rising.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
