What else can I help you with?
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
What earths layer is just below the lower mantle?
The layer just below the lower mantle is the outer core. It is composed primarily of liquid iron and nickel and is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through the movement of these molten metals. The outer core lies beneath the mantle and above the solid inner core.
The liquid layer of earths core between mantle and inner core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
What layer of the earth would you most likely find iron?
Iron is most commonly found in the Earth's core, particularly in the outer and inner core layers. The outer core is primarily composed of liquid iron and nickel, while the inner core is made up of solid iron. Additionally, smaller amounts of iron can also be found in the mantle and crust, but the majority resides in the core.
Compare and contrast the two upper layers of the mantle?
The inner mantle comprises of silicon and magnesium sulphides and oxides while the outer mantle consists of tough liquid rock with iron and magnesium silicates.
Which of the Earths layers is just below lower mantle?
The layer just below the lower mantle is the outer core. This layer is composed of liquid iron and nickel, and is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field.
What Borders liquid core?
The liquid core of Earth is surrounded by the solid mantle and crust. This liquid outer core is mostly composed of iron and nickel, and it is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Is lower mantle liquid or solid?
The lower mantle is primarily solid, although some areas may experience partial melting to create magma. The solid nature of the lower mantle is due to high pressure, which helps keep the minerals in a solid state despite high temperatures.
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
Very hot liquid iron and sulfur are found 1300 miles deep in the Earth mantle inner core outer core crust?
core
The liquid layer of earths core between mantle and inner core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
What layers are found in the earths interior?
The Earth's interior consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is composed of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, composed of solid iron and nickel.
What is the layer of liquid iron and nickel called that lies under the mantle?
Outer core.
What is the earth's lower mantle made of?
The earth's crust lower mantle is made up of silicate perovskites and ferropericlase. While the silicate perovskites are the names given to calcium silicates and magnesium iron, ferropericlase is an oxide of magnesium/iron. The lower mantle is at a depth that ranges from 650 kilometers to 2,890 kilometers.
What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
Which layer lies beneath the mantle and surrounds in inner core?
The layer beneath the mantle and surrounding the inner core is the outer core. The outer core is composed mostly of liquid iron and nickel. Its movement is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field.
What is a brief description of the mantle?
A solid layer made of iron and a nicel
