Carbon makes up less than 0.02% of Earth's crust by mass. It is primarily found in minerals such as carbonates (e.g., limestone) and organic materials like plants and animals.

What are the remains of living thing that have been preserved in earth's crust?

Fossils, although technically they are not preserved in the earths crust; the minerals in the bones and pore spaces have been replaced by other harder minerals which take much longer to weather.There are a number of different fossilization processes. See this link :How are Fossils Formed?

Are gases that take up the earths atmosphere nonrenewable?

Yes. Only organic items are renewable. (Oil, crops, etc.) Basically, only carbon-based things are renewable.


What are the remains of living things that have been preserved in the earth's crust?

Fossils are the remains or traces of living things that have been preserved in the Earth's crust. They can include bones, shells, imprints, or tracks left behind by organisms that lived long ago. Fossils provide valuable information about past life forms and can help scientists understand the history of life on Earth.


Do plants give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen or do plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide?

Plants give out oxygen (from the breakdown of water) and take in carbon dioxide, which they use to form carbohydrates in the process of photosynthesis.However, at night and in darker conditions, plants still need energy, and use cellular respiration as animals do, taking in some oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This is normally much less chemical activity than photosynthesis, so green plants release much more oxygen than they use.

Why are ores a non-renewable resource?

although they will eventual replenish in the earths crust, this process will take too long so they are dubbed to be non-renewable sersources, much like coal or oil.

Very fast.


Where do most earthquakes take place why?

I would say Japan because it is separated into four pieces of the earths crust. in Tokyo Very small earthquakes happen every day


How much does metamorphic rocks take up of the crust?

Not that much, about 5%. You could check other textbooks though.


How thick is Mercury's crust?

There is no true answer to this question. But scientists believe Mercury's crust is anywhere from 100km-300km. They get an estimated measurement by taking the circumfrance of the earth and the estimated circumfrance of Mercury and adding them together then they take an approximate amount of earths crust and subtract the crust by the difference of the earths and mercurys crust


What process provides most of the oxygen found in earths atmosphere?

Growing more trees as trees take in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen that we use for breathing. So. I guess Afforestation provides most of the oxygen found in the earths atmosphere.
