=== === The presence of water in hydrous minerals which are being subducted can speed melting of some minerals. Others crystals that would be solid at a deeper depth can melt in a high-temperature, subducting environment. The resulting partial melt can carry unmelted material upward, where lower pressure allows more melt to occur. This process can occur all the way up to volcanic eruption, or the rising magma can partially or entirely stop and cool in place.

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.
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.
Why is the mantle not a runny liquid but a thick paste?
The mantle is a semi-solid layer made up of hot, flowing rock known as magma that circulates slowly over geologic time scales. While it appears solid, the mantle can still flow and deform over long periods due to high temperatures and pressures. This behavior gives it a paste-like consistency rather than a runny liquid.
When solid rock in the earths mantle melts it forms a liquid rock known as?
Magma
Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?
The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.
Is the mantle part of the earth a solid or liquid?
The mantle consists of molten rock. Therefore, it made up of a very thick, hot liquid referred to as magma.
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 tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
Molten liquid rock inside Earth's mantle is called .?

Is the mantle a solid or something else?
The mantle layer of the planet Earth is made of hot liquid rock (called magma). The crust, upon which we live and type, floats on the mantle.
Is the earth a solid or a liquid?
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
Is magma a Liquid or solid?
Liquid
What is the consistency of the earth's mantle?
Magma can have a consistency that ranges from syrup to rock. It depends on how fast the magma is flowing and what it contains.
Is mantle a gas liquid or a solid?
solid
