The liquid layer of earths core between mantle and inner core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
What is the state of matter of the Earth's upper mantle?
The Earth's upper mantle is composed of solid rock that flows through liquid rock, also known as lava.
What is the earths very top of the mantle combined?
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
What is under the mantle?
Under the Earth's mantle is the outer core, which is primarily composed of liquid iron and nickel. This outer core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through a process known as the dynamo effect.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
The liquid layer of earths core between mantle and inner core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
What lies below the earths mantle?
The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.
Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?
No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.
What is the liquid metallic region in the earths interior?
The liquid metallic region in the Earth's interior is known as the outer core. It is composed mainly of iron and nickel, and its motion generates Earth's magnetic field through the process of dynamo action. The outer core is located beneath the mantle and surrounds the solid inner core.
The temperature at which a vapor forms from a liquid?
It depends on the type of liquid, though this transition is known as the boiling point (same as when a liquid forms a vapour).
Are tectonic plates made of mantle?
The solid portion of the upper mantle which behaves as a brittle solid is known as the lithospheric mantle. This part of the upper mantle along with the crust forms tectonic plates.
What sphere extends from earths core to earths crust?
The sphere that extends from Earth's core to Earth's crust is known as the mantle. It is a layer of solid rock that lies between the core and the crust, making up the majority of Earth's volume. The mantle is divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle based on depth and composition.
Where are Earths major landforms?
Earth's major land forms are known as continents.
What forms beneath earths surface?
The rock that forms on earth's surface is extrusive rock or otherwise known as a metamorphic rock.
What is the state of matter in the upper mantle?
solid
