What else can I help you with?
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.
What is the origin of pass the mantle?
I will take a guess that this is a biblical reference to the prophets Elijah and Elisha in 2Kings, where Elijah's mantle or cloak is passed to Elisha at the time that Elijah is taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.
Why is the mantle of the Earth often referred to as the cavern of crystals?
It isn't. At least not by Earth scientists! There is no reason based on the evidence to believe that there are significant void spaces (i.e. caverns) within the mantle (despite what you might see in films such as "The Core").
A very long lived magma source located deep in the mantle is called?
A mantle plume. These plumes are thought to be responsible for hotspot volcanism, where magma erupts through the Earth's crust in localized regions, such as the Hawaiian Islands. The source of mantle plumes is still debated among geologists.
What part of the mantle is the asthenosphere found?
The asthenosphere lies in, and is the upper ductile part of, the mantle. It is the layer directly underneath the lithosphere; the layer composed of the crust and uppermost rigid mantle.
Describe how the mantle is like a lava lamp what does density have to do with this?
well its like magma
What are three words that describe earths mantle?
It's only soft and plastic in that it is not as hard as the brittle rock of the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is used to describe the continuous heating and cooling of magma in the mantle?
The process of continuous heating and cooling of magma in the mantle is known as magma convection. This movement of molten rock helps distribute heat and promote mixing within the mantle, influencing volcanic activity and plate tectonics.
What is another name for the earths crust and upper mantle?
It is called the lithosphere.
Describe the movement of the crust at a hotspot?
The crust moves in 1 direction at a hotspot due to the convection currents of the mantle
How does the theory of plate tectonics describe the earth's crust?
The tectonic plates consist of crust and the outermost part of the mantle.
What is a description of the earths upper mantle?
The upper layer of the Earth of how I'd describe is It's hot and is 1000 degrees
What are 3 layer Of the earth describe it?
The 3 layers of the earth are the crus,mantle and the core. Crust-is the outer most layer of the earth Mantle-is the center layer of the earth Core-is the inner most layer of the earth
Describe the composition and temperature of the mantle?
The mantle is composed mainly of silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron. It has an average temperature of about 1300-3300 degrees Celsius, with the highest temperatures near the core-mantle boundary. The mantle is predominantly solid, but some regions can undergo partial melting to form magma.
What is the origin of pass the mantle?
I will take a guess that this is a biblical reference to the prophets Elijah and Elisha in 2Kings, where Elijah's mantle or cloak is passed to Elisha at the time that Elijah is taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.

What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
