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 molten rock that is found in the upper mantle are?

called magma. Magma is formed when rock in the upper mantle melts due to high temperature and pressure. This molten rock can then rise to the surface and solidify to form igneous rocks.


Is silica and forms of granite found in upper mantle?

Silica is found in the upper mantle, but not granite. Most of the minerals in the mantle are silicates, meaning they contain silica. Granite is found in the crust, primarily conditnental crust, as it forms from high-silica magma. The upper mantle is composed mostly of a lower-silica rock called peridotite.

Does magma come from the upper mantle or inner core of the earth?

Magma primarily comes from the upper mantle, specifically from a region known as the asthenosphere. This zone is partially molten and can generate magma through a process known as partial melting. The inner core of the Earth is solid due to high pressure despite being extremely hot.


Which layer of the earth does the magma form?
