How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
How far down is the earths crust?
The distance will vary in different places. Some may be 5km or even 50 km.
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
They form far above the earths surface.
How far is the inner core to the crust?
From the Earth's crust to the inner core is about 3,950 miles.
How far is it to the lithosphere from the crust?
The crust is part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper mantle. Therefore, there is no spatial distance between the lithosphere and the crust.
Why was the oil rig invented?
Oil deposits were found beneath the ocean, too far from the shore to drill from the land. Eventually someone had the bright idea to go and produce these rigs that drill at sea and the first oil rig was born. So, oil rigs were invented to pump the oil located beneath the sea bed far from shore.
Why can't the equipment used to drill for oil be used to drill into the mantle?
Because oil is in the crust, scientists never drilled to the mantle so far because it is too deep for them.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
How far down does earths mantle go?
The crust goes down about 10 kilometers. Continental crust is about 3 billion years old and oceanic crust is about 70-100 million years old.
How far down is the earths crust?
The distance will vary in different places. Some may be 5km or even 50 km.
How far off shore are the oil rigs in the gulf?
41 miles
What is the earths most expansive layer?
The mantle contains the bulk of Earth's rock, far surpassing the crust. The outer core is a liquid, and therefore would not be considered rock.
How far beneath the earths surface would you have to go to be where there is no more granite?
Below the crust. This varies based on the thickness of the crust and it has to be continental crust for there to be granite. There are some exceptions to this but it is very complex and not very well understood at this time. The crust varies in thickness between ~25km and 70km (Basin and Range province and Himalayan Mountains, respectively).
How much is the earths crust raised when the moon is overhead?
None to speak of. The Earth's crust is fairly solid; if it was being raised and lowered like the tides, we'd record many more earthquakes than we actually see.
What is older the oceanic crust or the continental crust?
Continental crust is far older than oceanic crust.
What are the result of heating up the earths core?
this question may actually end humanity because then the lava and stuff that's down there will get hotter and hotter and eventually break through earths crust causing... as far as i know volcano eruptions maybe earthquakes
How far away should your hands be when using a drill press?
For safety sake as far away from the drill part of the press as possible.
