What is one fact about the crust?
It is made of hard rock.
What is one fact about Earths crust?
the temperture varies
What is an fact about basalt?
It is the most common rock in the crust of the Earth.
What is one cool fact about earth's crust?
the temperture varies
Is silica in the earth's continental crust?
Yes, and in fact is very abundant.
Is oceanic crust more buoyant than continental crust?
No, oceanic crust is not more buoyant than continental crust. In fact, oceanic crust is denser and thinner compared to continental crust, which is thicker and less dense. This difference in density and thickness is why oceanic crust typically lies lower than continental crust, leading to the formation of ocean basins. Consequently, continental crust is more buoyant and tends to rise above the oceanic crust.
Explain the significance of the fact that the lithosphere is primarily composed of basalt while the crust is composed primarily of granite?
The lithosphere is composed of the oceanic and continental crust, along with the brittle uppermost mantle. The continental crust is mainly granitic, and the oceanic crust is primarily basalt.
What fact does the data from the clementine spacecraft support?
that the moon has a thinner crust on the side facing earth
What is an unusual fact about francium?
Natural francium is very scarce - approx. 30 g in the Earth crust.
Is the continental crust thinner and denser in most areas than the oceanic crust?
No, the continental crust is generally thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust. Continental crust can be up to 70 km thick in some areas, while oceanic crust averages about 7 km in thickness. Density-wise, oceanic crust is denser because it is made mostly of basalt, whereas continental crust is primarily composed of less dense granite and sedimentary rocks.
What are espanadas made of?
Do you mean empanadas? If so, they are stuffed pies. The crust is very similar to pie crust (in fact you can use premade pie crust to make them). The filling is anything you like. Sometimes they are sweet with raisins and nuts and sometime savory with ground meat.
What is one fact on Mars?
Mars has virtually no magnetic field because the crust below the surface is so thin.
