The Earth's mantle is the thick layer of rock located between the Earth's crust and core, constituting about 84% of the Earth's volume. It is primarily composed of silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron, such as olivine and pyroxene. The mantle is involved in dynamic activities like convection, where heat from the core causes the mantle's material to circulate, driving plate tectonics and contributing to volcanic activity and earthquakes. This movement also plays a crucial role in the recycling of materials between the Earth's surface and interior.
What else can I help you with?
What is earths mantle heated by?
Earth's mantle is mainly heated by the decay of radioactive isotopes and residual heat from the formation of the planet. This heat causes convection currents in the mantle which drive plate tectonics and other geological processes.
Where is most of the earths new crust found?
Most of Earth's new crust is found along mid-ocean ridges, underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart. This is where magma rises from the mantle to create new crust through volcanic activity.
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
Where is earths greatest bulk composition?
mantle
Do continents drift slowly on earths upper mantle or earths core?
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.
What percent of earths mass does mantle makeup?
1/4

What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Where would you be most likely to find granite in earths mantle or earths continents?
you will find it in earths mantle because it is a kind of an igneous rock
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water differ from the earths mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
How is the mixture of cornstarch and water different from the Earths Mantle?
the earths mantle is very hot were cornstarch is not hot at all
What are three parts that make up earths mantle?
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
Where is most of the earths new crust found?
Most of Earth's new crust is found along mid-ocean ridges, underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart. This is where magma rises from the mantle to create new crust through volcanic activity.
What part is the earths mantle?
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
Is the earths mantle made of liquid?
No. The Earth's mantle is a ductile solid.
Is it hot in the earths mantle?
Decay of radioactive elements in the mantle heats it.
What is the makeup of earths atmosphere?
Gases
