What material do scientists believe makes up a large part of the upper mantle?
Scientists believe that the upper mantle is primarily composed of peridotite, a rock made up of minerals such as olivine and pyroxene. This composition is based on studies of seismic waves, rock samples from the mantle, and experimental research under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Large segments of the crust and upper mantle known as?
Large segments of the crust and upper mantle known as the Lithospheric plates.
What is a large section of the Earth called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
Why does mercury have such a big core?
Scientists believe that when in the formation, it was hit by a large object after it differentiated and lost most of it's materials from outer layers (crust + mantle); leaving mostly iron. Another possibility is that it at that part of the disk from where it was formed had more iron than other areas. Sources: Literally talking about this in my class right now (got it word for word from my teacher)
Which occurs when large quantities of magma begin to push through mantle of the earth and into layers of the crust?
dome mountain
What material do scientists believe makes up large part of the upper mantle?
A mineral called peridotite.
Which element is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle?
Gold is not found in large quantities in Earth's mantle. While it is present in the Earth's crust and in small amounts in the mantle, it is not one of the major elements that make up the mantle's composition.

What is the large piece of the earths crust?
the mantle
Which element is not found in large quantities in Earth mantle?
Oxygen is not found in large quantities in the Earth's mantle as it is more abundant in the Earth's crust and atmosphere compared to the mantle. The most abundant elements in the Earth's mantle are oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron.
What element is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle?
The element carbon is not found in large quantities in Earths mantle.
What is an example of a sentence using the word mantle?
History repeats itself in fashion. Now women are wearing mantle again!
What is one large piece of the lithosphere?
its made of mantle and crust
What do scientist now think might be a possible cause of continental drifth?
Scientists now believe that the movement of tectonic plates caused by mantle convection could be a possible cause of continental drift. This phenomenon describes how the Earth's crust is broken into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, causing them to slowly move and shift over time. This movement can result in the continents drifting apart or coming together.
What must a scientist do for an experiment?
because of the large data simple
What do theories help scientist with?
explain large bodies of data
