What else can I help you with?
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
What are these parts primarily made up of in the earths interior?
they are crust and the mantle and also the core
What is rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Scientist find dense rock on earths surface the is made of magnesium and smaller amounts of alum um and silicon What layer of earth might this rock help scientist study?
The dense rock made of magnesium, aluminum, and silicon is likely representative of the Earth's mantle, particularly the upper mantle. Studying this rock can provide insights into the composition, temperature, and dynamics of the mantle, as well as the processes that drive plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Additionally, it can help scientists understand the mineralogical transitions that occur between the crust and the mantle.
What are parts of the earths mantle?
The Earth's mantle consists mainly of the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The upper mantle is made up of solid rock, while the lower mantle is composed of more solid and dense rock. The mantle plays a crucial role in the movement of tectonic plates and the convection currents that drive plate tectonics.
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
How have scientists determined the composition of the earths mantle?
by studying seismic wave travel times, scientist have determined that the lithosphere, which includes the crust and the top of the upper mantle is made up primaraly of the ingenueos rocks granite, basalt and peridotite
What is 80 percent of Earths volume made up of?
The mantle.
How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
What mineral is made when the earths mantle and crust compose into a rock form?
diamond
How do scientists think earths crust moves?
The crustal plates (made mostly of low density granitic rock) float on the mantle (made mostly of high density basaltic rock). Convection cells in the mantle move the floating crustal plates around.
What are these parts primarily made up of in the earths interior?
they are crust and the mantle and also the core
How thick earths mantle?
The mantle is found between the core and the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is made up of mostly solid rock that is 1,802 miles thick.
Rigid layer of earths surface made up of the crust and a part of the upper mantle?
lithosphere
What is the ridge layer of earths surface made up of the crust and part of the mantle called?
lithoshpere
What is a rigid layer made up of the crust and the upper part of the earths mantle?
the Lithosphere or Lithospheric Plates
Earths Litosphere Is Broken Into Separate Sections Called?
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
