It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.

What rock can flow like a liquid?

the rock that can flow like a liquid is a mantle because the mantle has two parts. The upper part is the solid rock. The solid rock of the mantle is part is the lithosphere. Below the solid rock, the mantle rock has the ability to flow like a liquid. Most of the mantle is made up of rock that can flow. Sanjida Ahmed 752/753

In the mantle


Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?

No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.

What state is the rock in the mantle?

In the mantle, rocks are in a semi-solid state known as magma. The mantle is made up of solid rock that can deform and flow slowly over long periods of time due to the extreme heat and pressure found in this layer of the Earth.

Is the Mantle made up of liquid or solid magma?

The mantle is made up of solid rock, specifically solid mantle rock in the upper part and more ductile solid rock in the lower part. Magma is only present when it is partially molten rock that forms in specific regions of the mantle.


What is the eath made of?

The Earth is composed of several layers: the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer and is made up of solid rock. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is mostly solid but can flow slowly over long periods of time. At the center of the Earth is the core, which is composed mostly of iron and nickel.
