The Earth's mantle is primarily solid but behaves like a viscous fluid over geological time scales. It consists of solid rock that can flow slowly due to high temperatures and pressures. This semi-solid state allows for convection currents, which drive plate tectonics. Therefore, while it is not liquid in the conventional sense, its properties allow it to move and deform like a fluid.
solid
It is a solid from the liquid outer core all the way to the crust
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
The Moho, short for Mohorovičić discontinuity, is a boundary in the Earth's crust that separates the solid crust from the underlying mantle. So, the Moho is where the solid crust transitions into the solid mantle, but it is not a solid or liquid layer itself.
The Mantle Is The Part Of Earth That Has Properties Of A Solid And A Liquid.
Both. The upper mantle is solid and the lower mantle is liquid.
solid
solid
the lower mantle of earth is a solid
Solid.
Solid!
Liquid I Think
The lower part of the Mantle is liquid.
It is a solid from the liquid outer core all the way to the crust
It is considered a solid, but it flows like a liquid
