What is the layer of the earth above the core called?
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
What is the layer of the earth that is mostly rock?
There is no layer of Earth that is predominantly molten rock. The only layer of Earth that is liquid is the outer core, however this is mainly iron and nickel. The mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth, contains rock that is "ductile" (i.e. very viscous and able to flow very slowly), but not technically "liquid."
Which layer of earth is thin rigid rock layer?
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock
What is magma that hardens on earth surface called?
magma is a layer of earth surface.Or the hot layer of earth. P.S I am not sure of the answer
What is the difference between the asthenosphere and magnetosphere?
The asthenosphere is a layer of Earth's mantle upper consisting of hot rock with a plastic texture. It is beneath the rigid lithosphere. The magnetosphere is Earth's magnetic field.
What layer of earth is made up of hot rock?
The mantle
Is the earth mantle a layer of hot rock?
Not exactly--the mantle is comprised of semisolid rock, or magma.
What is the layer of the earth that consists of very hot and liquid rock?
The outer core.
What describes the characteristics of the Earth's mantle?
C.) the thickest layer of hot rock
Do volcanoes have lava?
The molten rock that erupts from volcanoes ultimately comes from Earth's mantle, which is a very hot layer of rock. It is hot enough that some if its rock can melt and rise through the crust.
What is the layer of the earth above the core called?
The layer of the Earth above the core is called the mantle. It is located between the core and the Earth's crust. The mantle is composed of hot, semi-solid rock.
What is the earth's lower mantle?
The lower mantle of the Earth is the layer directly above the core. It is very dense, hot, and composed of thick rock.
What layer of the earth is made of rock and soil?
regolith, outer layer of the earth is made of rock and soil.
What layer of the earth is the solid rock layer?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
What is the hot layer of rock and magma?
Mantle
How is a layer of earth is as hot as the sun?
no
What is the earth's surface floating on?
The Earth's crust floats on top of a layer called the mantle, which is composed of hot liquid rock (which sometimes erupts out of volcanoes, and is called magma).
