upper mantle
false
Magma can flow if the upper mantle, leading to volcanic activity on the Earth's surface.
Most magma is foound in upper portions of the mantle near plate boundaries or at hot spots, but some is found in the crust in magma chambers.
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
The layer located just below the mantle is the outer core. It is composed of a liquid layer of iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.

lower crust to upper mantle
Magma is molten rock that originates from the partially melted upper mantle or lower crust of the Earth. It can also be sourced from the outer core in some instances. The movement of tectonic plates and heat from the Earth's interior are key factors in generating magma.

Magma forms in the mantle layer of the Earth. It is a molten rock material that originates from the partial melting of rocks in the upper mantle. Magma can rise to the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions.
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.

The layer located just below the mantle is the outer core. It is composed of a liquid layer of iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core of the Earth.
The thickest layer of the Earth is the mantle, with or without the asthenosphere (the upper layer of mantle). However, the densest layer of Earth is the inner core.
