What is the matter of asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is a solid. Remember that there are four observable states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Is the asthenosphere totally liquid?
No, the asthenosphere is not liquid. It is a part of the Earth’s layers that is most probably hotter and more fluid than the lithosphere but still in…
Why the asthenosphere is in a semi-molten state?
The asthenosphere is the denser, weaker layer beneath the lithospheric mantle. The temperature and pressure of the asthenosphere are so high that rocks soften and partly melt, becoming semi-molten.
Why does semi molten state occur?
Answer: The semi molten material is reffered to as magma. The high temperatures in this area is what makes the material to be semimolten in nature. In the centre of the earth is a metal core that is hot and dense, this is what causes thge materias underneath the crust molten in nature.
What is the asthenosphere and where is it located quizlet?
Asthenosphere: The asthenosphere is the layer of weak or soft mantle made of solid rock that moves very slowly. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere. Tectonic plates move on top of the asthenosphere.
What best describes the asthenosphere?
Asthenosphere is the answer of this question. It best describes the all above mention properties. Asthenosphere is the the upper layer of the earth’s mantle, below the lithosphere , in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur. 4.8.
What are 7 states of matter?
Matter is any thing that is made from atoms and molecules.( Studios, 1995) .The seven states of matter that I am investigating are Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate.
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Asthenosphere. Earthquake waves traveling through the Earth change speed and direction when there is a change in density of rocks within the earth. Not only do the rocks in this layer flow like a liquid they also break apart. Deep earthquake are caused by rocks breaking in this layer.
How would you describe the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is part of earth’s mantle. It is about 100 km to 350 km under the surface. It is the lower part of the upper mantle, and behaves as a hot viscous liquid. It consists of hot, weak material that can be deformed like silly putty.
