What are earths compositional layers in order of increasing density?
Crust, mantle, and then core.!(:
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
What is the range of density within the mantle?
The stiffer mantle (upper) is one of the layers of the earth's crust and composed of hot liquid rock. The range of density is between 3-100 or 3.4g/cm and 4.3g/cm.
Does seafloor displaces more of the mantle that the same thickness of the continental crust?
Yes
Which has the lowest density and the crust mantle and the core?
The crust
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
Which of the following crust mantle innercore and outercore has the greatest density?
inner core
What are earths compositional layers in order of increasing density?
Crust, mantle, and then core.!(:
How did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
Which statement correctly describes the density of Earth's mantle compared to the density of Earths core?
The mantle is less dense than the core but more dense than the crust.
What layers of the earth in order increase by density?
mantle crust ocean outer core
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Why is oceanic crust always subducted underneath the continental crust?
Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Does earth's crust have the same density?
Density will vary from place to place with ocean crust being denser than continental crust.
What among the crust the mantle and the core has the highest density?
The core, as it is mainly made up of iron and nickel.
