What is the plasticity of earth?
While still solid, the asthenosphere is able to flow. The ability of a solid to flow is called plasticity. See "What's the matter?" for an activity to demonstrate plasticity. Since the asthenosphere is more liquid than the rest of the mantle, the broken lithosphere plates are able to "float" on it.
The layer of solid rock that flows very slowly?
The layer of solid rock that flows very slowly is called the asthenosphere. It is located beneath the lithosphere and is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates. The asthenosphere has the ability to flow due to high temperatures and pressures, allowing it to deform over long periods of time.
Why does the solid rock in the asthenospere have the ability to flow like honey?
The solid rock in the asthenosphere has the ability to flow like honey because of the high temperatures and pressures in this region. This combination causes the rock to deform and flow plastically over long timescales, similar to how honey can flow slowly under the right conditions.
Is the lithosphere solid liquid or plastic?
The asthenosphere is a flowing solid. It's sort of a liquid and a solid.
What sphere is the solid rock material that directly underlies the sediments on the ocean floor?
lithosphere or geosphere
Is the lithosphere solid but able to flow?
The lithosphere is solid and does not flow, but is carried on top of the asthenosphere.
What is the plasticity of earth?
While still solid, the asthenosphere is able to flow. The ability of a solid to flow is called plasticity. See "What's the matter?" for an activity to demonstrate plasticity. Since the asthenosphere is more liquid than the rest of the mantle, the broken lithosphere plates are able to "float" on it.
The asthenosphere is not considered solid because it can bend like plastic?
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere, and its ability to deform like plastic is due to high temperatures and pressure that allow solid rock to flow slowly over long periods of time. This behavior is distinct from the rigid behavior of solid rock in the lithosphere above it.
Does The solid rock of the asthenosphere has the ability to flow.?
yes because it is a solid that can move
The ability of solid rock to flow is called?
plasticity
What does the asthenosphere have the ability to do?
The asthenosphere can flow slowly due to its high temperature and partial melting of rock, allowing tectonic plates to move on the more rigid lithosphere above it. This flow can create convection currents that drive plate movements and lead to processes such as seafloor spreading and subduction.
What state of matter doesn't have the ability to flow?
A solid is a state of matter that does not have the ability to flow. It has a definite shape and volume, with its particles arranged in a fixed pattern.
What is the state of matter of lithosphere?
Solid
Is earths lithosphere a solid liquid or gas?
Lithosphere is solid part of earth .
What two properties does a solid compound will not have?
1-solids do not flow.2- they do not diffuse.
Property of a solid that enables it to flow?
The property of a solid that enables it to flow is plasticity. Plasticity refers to the ability of a solid material to change shape permanently without breaking when subjected to stress. This property allows solids to deform and flow under certain conditions, usually through the movement of dislocations within the material.
Is the lithosphere solid or liquid rock?
The Lithosphere is solid rock floating on molten rock.
