Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The mantle is a thick layer of solid rock sandwiched between the Earth’s upper crust and lower core.
- Mantle makes up the largest part of Earth.
- The viscosity of the rocks in the transition zone between the upper and the lower mantle determines whether a plate sinks below another one through it.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
The mantle — a 2,900 km thick layer of solid rock sandwiched between the Earth’s upper crust and lower core.
The mantle makes up the largest part of Earth.
The mantle’s viscous properties govern convection — the transfer of heat between areas of different temperatures. This enables plate tectonics.
Mantle convection results in the transport of rocks and heat.
The viscosity of the rocks in the transition zone between the upper and the lower mantle determines whether a plate sinks below another one (subduction) through it.
