Why is there oxygen in the Earths Crust?
Oxygen, though usually a gas, is still in a molecule form and can be bonded to with any other molecule that is able to do so. Oxygen is a very common element in the crust because many rocks and more importantly minerals that make up those rocks use it in there atomic bonds. A simple example is Quartz, SiO2 So each single structure has one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms.
How many plates make up the earths crust?
Fourteen plates make up the Earths crust. The Pacific plate is the largest and the most active, while the Juan de Fuca plate is the smallest.

What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
How many grams of oxygen are needed to react with 6.78 grams of ammonia?

How many percent of oxygen comprises on weight of earths continental crust?
Oxygen comprises about 47% by weight of Earth's crust
How many elements make up the majority of Earths continental crust?
Oxygen Silicon Sodium Potassium Magnesium Iron
Oxygen is a gas at normal conditions. Scientists report that oxygen is the most common element in the earths crust. The earths crust is composed of solids and liquids. Explain this apparent contradi?
If you talk about elements, then oxygen is O, and O is found in many, many COMPOUNDS. So, if a compound is found in the crust, and if it contains oxygen (like water, H2O), then the element oxygen will be counted. It doesn't have to be in a gaseous form. In addition, O2 gas can also be found dissolved in some liquids.

What is made of inner?
if you are talking about the earth here is the answer. The earth is made up of many parts. The outside is called the crust the crust is the thinest part of the earth. The crust is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is 3.0 grams/cm squared dense. The continental crust is 2.7 grams/cm squared dense. Other parts of the earths interior are the asthensophere "plastic mantle", stiffer mantle, outer core, and the inner core. We know that the outer core is liquid because a waves do not travel through it, and a waves only don't travel through liquid. These are the components that make up the earths interior.
