is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
What else can I help you with?
What happens when the temperature of rock rises above its melting point?
When the temperature of a rock rises above its melting point it turns into magma, usually found in the mantle (found below the Earth's crust).
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
At room temperature table salt is a solid and mercury is a liquid what conclusion can you draw about the melting points of these substances?
The melting point oof salt is far higher then the melting point of acetone.
Part of earth's interior that flows like plastic?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.
Which layer is believed to behave most like a liquid?
If we're talking layers of the earth, that would be the upper mantle, below the crust.
Is the temperature of the stiffer mantle above of below its melting point?
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
Is the temperature of the stiffer mantle above or below its mantle point?
is the temperature if the stiffer mantle above or below its melting point
What happens when the temperature of rock rises above its melting point?
When the temperature of a rock rises above its melting point it turns into magma, usually found in the mantle (found below the Earth's crust).
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
What keeps rock in the lower part of the mantle below their melting point?
The high pressure in the lower mantle keeps rocks solid even if they exceed their melting point, as pressure can suppress melting. Additionally, the presence of minerals with high melting points, such as silicates, contributes to the rocks remaining solid below their melting point. The slow rate of heat transfer in the solid rock also plays a role in preventing it from reaching its melting point.
Is it hotter below or above ground?
below because the mantle and crust
What is above and below the MOHO?
crust and upper mantle
What are 5 liquids that do not have water?
-- pure alcohol at room temperature -- mercury at room temperature -- oxygen below its boiling temperature -- iron above its melting temperature -- nitrogen below its boiling temperature -- salt above its melting temperature -- gold above its melting temperature -- any other element or compound that is not H2O, above its melting temperature and below its boiling temperature
What occurs when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate?
Subduction into the upper mantle and melting.
What is the stiffer mantle?
The density of Earth's mantle varies depending on its depth. The part right below the crust has a density of about 3.4 grams per cubic centimeter while the lowest part of the mantle is 5.6 grams per cubic centimeter.
What becomes solid above the melting point?
assuming it is its own melting point NOTHING which is why its a MELTING point
What range of death does the stiffer mantle exist?
The stiffer mantle, often referred to as the upper mantle, extends from about 35 kilometers (22 miles) to approximately 660 kilometers (410 miles) below Earth's surface. It is composed of solid rock that behaves viscously over long periods, accommodating tectonic processes without flowing like the molten rock found in the lower mantle. The transition between the upper and lower mantle occurs at around 660 kilometers, where the material becomes more ductile due to increased pressure and temperature.
