Cooler material (magma) shrinks and becomes more dense. Gravity acts on this denser material more strongly because of its greater unit mass (density = Mass/volume). Lighter material rises as the heavier material displaces it below. This produces a the apparent bouyant force.

What is the source of heat matle?

The heat mantle typically uses a heating element made of resistive wire, such as nichrome wire, which generates heat when an electric current passes through it. This wire is embedded within a ceramic insulation material to ensure uniform heating and safety during operation.


Did some goes to the core?

no, because its very hot in there. Even you cant pass to matle going to the core, no one ever tried going there.

What is the strong lower matle below asthenosphere?

The strong lower mantle is a layer of the Earth's interior located beneath the asthenosphere, extending from about 660 kilometers to approximately 2,900 kilometers deep. It is characterized by its solid state and increased pressure, which leads to enhanced strength and rigidity compared to the overlying asthenosphere. Composed mainly of silicate minerals, the lower mantle plays a crucial role in mantle convection and the dynamics of plate tectonics. Its properties significantly influence the behavior of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle.

What process in earths interior causes subduction and sea-floor?

Spreading of seafloor occurs at the mid-ocean rifts, where there is a continuous flow of material rising from the mantle. There is not a unanimously accepted theory as to the cause of the rifting that is taking place. Once the rifting and mantle material inflow has started, however, the conduit is in place. The thinness of the crust at the rift makes it easier for the material to rise, and as it rises it becomes molten and emplaces itself to form new oceanic crust when it solidifies. The rising material is part of a convection current in the Earth's mantle. At the opposite end of the current are subduction zones, where oceanic crust sinks back into the mantle and melts, causing surface features as composite volcanoes. With this cycle of creation and destruction, the total area of seafloor remains relatively stable, but continents change in relative position to each other. These changes do not occur rapidly. The average speed of crustal plate movement is less than the average rate of fingernail growth.


What causes the pressure that allows diamands to form in the matle?

Diamonds form deep in the mantle due to the extreme pressure exerted by overlying rocks. This pressure, combined with high temperatures, helps carbon atoms to bond together in a unique crystalline structure that makes up diamonds.
