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 keeps rock in the lower part of the mantle below their melting point?
Pressure from the thousands of miles of rock above.
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
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 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 occurs when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate?
Subduction into the upper mantle and melting.
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
Are hot spots above or below Earth's surface?
Hot spots originate in the mantle, well below the Earth's surface.
When magma forms within the mantle it is most often a result of?
Either the loss of confining pressure causing the melting point of the material to drop below the in-situ temperature or due to the presence of volatiles which enter the mantle where subduction occurs and also lower the melting point of the material.
