Science Structure of the Earth What is the upper mantle called?Question:What is the upper mantle called?Mantle.The mantle is the earth's thickest layer, between the crust and the outer core. It mainly comprises iron, silicates, and magnesium. It is dense, hot, and malleable....
What is the upper mantle made of? What are the properties of Earth's inner core? What is the mesosphere mantle made of? What is the density of the Earth's mantle? What is the pressure of the Earth's mantle? How many elements make up the majority of Earth's continental crust?
The troposphere, the bottommost layer of Earth’s atmosphere, is the densest of the five atmospheric layers and extends from ground level up to about 10 kilometers in altitude. This is the layer where humans live and breathe, as it contains the air we depend on for survival. The tropospher...
A. Researching the movement of the upper mantle. B. Understanding the unknown asthenosphere. C. Studying the magm a from the asthenosphere. D. Analyzing the process of tectonic movements.10. Which is the key condition in confirming the discovery? A. The discovery of volcano in western P...
in silica-deficientrocks. It is one of the two gems that have been observed to form in the rock of the upper mantle rather than in the earth’s crust. It’s gem-quality is unusual on the earth’s surface due to its environmental sensitivity when transporting deep into the mantle. ...
The term artificial general intelligence has been used for almost three decades in computer science. It's generally used to refer to a computer system that can solve problems as well as, or better than, a human being. The term is broad and vague, and so it has acquired different meanings...
Like other supervolcanic areas, Yellowstone sits on a long-active tectonic zone, a weakened and thinned crust overlying a 2,500 F (1,370 C) magma dome rising from the upper mantle. This dome has melted and broken into the crust to create two magma chambers roughly 5-7 miles (8-11 ...
EarthScope Institute on the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary; Portland, Oregon, 19–21 September 2011 The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) marks a pronounced transition in the mechanical behavior of the upper mantle, separating the strong lithosphere from the weak asthenosphere beneath it. Althoug...
What is a Divergent boundary?Where divergent boundaries formDivergent boundaries usually form deep in the ocean where two ocean plates are moving apart. In the upper mantle molten rock collects in magma chambers at the edges of ocean plates. ...
"If she only had a servant or two it would be all right," said Amy, coming out of the parlor, where she had been trying to decide whether the bronze Mercury looked best on the whatnot or the mantlepiece. View in context The room was crowded with small pieces of furniture, whatnots...
