The mantle in liquid state due to its pressure and high temperatures.
Explanation:
- Earth's mantle is located under the earth the crust of the planet and is entirely made of the liquid magma and in the form of solid rock.
- The notion of the plates that after subduction sinks into the mantel is a misconception and thus is indirectly refer it to as a liquid state. Due to the high temperature and pressure of the mantel behavior like a liquid, it flows and deforms.
- The fact that mantle has been divided into the three zones as the asthenosphere as an upper mantle, middle mantle, and the lower mantel.
- The upper mantle is a liquid rock and is very hard and moves in a large area of the earth's crust and the lower mantle extends firm 300 to 1800 miles deep within the earth and is composed of silicon and magnesium.
