The mantle is primarily composed of solid rock, but it contains regions of partially melted rock known as "magma." This magma can form due to high temperatures and pressures within the Earth, leading to partial melting of the mantle's silicate minerals. When magma rises to the surface, it can lead to volcanic activity. The mantle plays a crucial role in the geological processes of the Earth, including plate tectonics.
What else can I help you with?
When rock in earth's mantle melt what does it become?
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.
Is solid rock located deep in the mantle called magma?
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?
the inner core
What is a melted rock that can ooze out from below the earths surface through a crack in the crust is called a?
it is just called molten rock, and it comes out of the Earths crust via volcanoes. you can also say that its melted lava
What do you call the melted rock coming from a volcano?
The melted rock coming from a volcano is called lava.
When rock in earth's mantle melt what does it become?
Melted rock in the Earth's mantle is called magma.
What is the mantle and crust made up of?
Nearly all of the mantle and crust are made up of rock, and in the case of the mantle, a small percentage of magma (melted rock).
Is solid rock located deep in the mantle called magma?
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
What is the melted rock in the earth called?
It is located in the mantle and is called Magma while in the ground and Lava when above ground.
What is melted rock in earth is called?
It is located in the mantle and is called Magma while in the ground and Lava when above ground.
What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?
the inner core
When will melted rock in the mantle rise?
Melted rock in the mantle will rise when it becomes less dense than the surrounding solid rock and forms buoyant plumes. This can be triggered by heat sources such as mantle plumes or subduction zones.
How do upper mantle rock differ from lower mantle rock?
the upper-mantle rocks are heavier while the lower mantle rocks are semisolid like melted plastic
What is the material of mantle?
Your answer would be melted rock, iron, and nickel
What is the Material of upper mantle?
Your answer would be melted rock, iron, and nickel
The layer between earth's core and its crust is called?
There is no layer of melted rock directly below the Earth's crust. The upper mantle is composed of solid, but flexible rock which is prevented from melting by the pressure of surrounding material.
Does lithosphere or asthenosphere contain partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle?
The asthenosphere contains partly melted rock from the upper part of the mantle, while the lithosphere is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust and upper mantle that does not contain melted rock. The asthenosphere's semi-fluid behavior allows tectonic plates to move across it.
