The earths volume is made up of what?
Molton rock known as mantle magma, for the most part. There is also an iron core, the inner portion of which is probably solid.
This solid layer is found between the inner core and the lithosphere?
Although the bottom of the lithosphere is also part of the mantle, the answer is the mantle.
What is the bottom part of the mantle called?
The bottom part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle." It lies beneath the upper mantle and extends from about 670 kilometers to 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. The lower mantle is composed of solid rock that is capable of flowing over long periods of time.
What is the name of the lower part of mantle and the upper part of mantle?
The lower part of the mantle is called the "lower mantle" or "mesosphere", while the upper part of the mantle is referred to as the "upper mantle" or "asthenosphere".
What are the part of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
The strong lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
The lower part of the mantle is called the mesosphere.
Is lithosphere part of the mantle?
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
What part is the earths mantle?
The mantle is counted as the middle part of the earth
Is lithosphere part of mantle?
Yes, it is the top part of the Earth's mantle
Why isn't the bottom part of the earth's mantle molten?
The bottom part of the Earth's mantle is not molten because the extreme pressure at those depths increases the melting point of the rocks and minerals present. This means that even at high temperatures, the pressure prevents them from melting.
Is the mesosphere the same as the mantle?
No, the mesosphere and the mantle are not the same. The mesosphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere, while the mantle is a layer of Earth's interior between the crust and the core. They are part of different Earth systems - the mesosphere is part of the atmosphere, and the mantle is part of the geosphere.
Is the Asthenosphere the bottom part of the mantle?
No, the asthenosphere is a region in the upper part of the mantle that lies beneath the lithosphere. It is a partially molten, ductile layer that allows the lithospheric plates to move.
