Study Notes
Mantle Composition
- The mantle is made up of solid material that can deform plastically over long periods of time.
- There is no evidence of the mantle being composed of molten material that remains in a liquid state over geologic timescales.
- Note: plastic deformation refers to the ability of the mantle to change shape without breaking or melting.
