What positions did mantle and dimaggio play together?

What do geologist call the earths crust and upper mantle?
The lithosphere.
What do geologist believe is the driving force for sea floor spreading?
convection currents in the mantle.
Is being able to physically inspect the rocks in Earth's mantle worth the high cost of drilling?
Yes. There is information there only available through close inspection.
Is there an empty space in the Earth's mantle?
To my knowledge, there is not known to be an empty space in the mantle. Earthquake seismic waves travel through the Earth in different ways as they change from crust to mantle. Such a void would have probably been detected by now, as the waves would NOT travel through a void - they travel through solids and liquids (but not the solid of the Earth's core).
What is named after the German geologist that discovered the thing that separates the earth's mantle from the outer core?
the Gutenberg discontinuity
What scientist who first proposed that thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes who is a geologist.
What stops scientists from reaching the mantle?
Heat, mainly, and the technological limitations of current drilling equipment.
Scientist who first proposed that thermal convection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
What were the hawiian island formed over?
Most people say a "mantle plume" however not all geologist believe that the existance of mantle plumes has been proven. (The presence of the islands (and other similar islands) does not of itself prove a mechanism).
Have we drilled into the upper mantle?
no. project mohole in the 1950s tried but could not do it. the rock is too hot and the pressure too high for drilling equipment.
How does water enter and exit the mantle cavity?
Water enters the mantle cavity through an incurrent siphon, and exits the mantle through an ex current siphon. This is a normal aspect of biology.
