Where is the temperature of the mantle material greater?

Geography
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

At the boundary with the core.

Explanation:

The mantle is the second layer from the top. It is bordered by the lithosphere above it, or rather by the crust, and by the outer core below it. The mantle is a layer which is in viscous state, being mostly consisted of molten metals and rocks. The temperature of this layer is not the same all throughout it, but it varies a lot. The temperature at its top part is around 200 C degrees, while the temperature at its bottom is around 4,000 C degrees. There's two reasons for this. One is that the core is very hot, so it makes the bottom part of the mantle very hot as well, and the other one is that the lithosphere is much cooler, as well as constantly getting new, cold, crust in it, which makes its top part much cooler. The mantle is the layer responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates on the surface, as it is the layer where the convection currents occur and drive the plates' movement.

Which factors contribute to changing igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Inga [223]

The correct answer are: C. heat, and E. pressure.

All metamorphic rocks need this two factors so that they can be formed from either igneous or sedimentary rocks. The metamorphic rocks form deep into the ground where the pressure is higher and the temperature is higher as well, the deeper they form the bigger the pressure and temperature they experience. According to how big of a temperature and how big of a pressure the rocks have been exposed it determines into what type of metamorphic rocks they will turn into, and according to that what kind of a texture and appearance will they have. The amount of time of exposure to heat and pressure is also key to the type and quality of the metamorphic rocks.
