What are the compositional zones of earth?
There are 4 layers in the earth these are crust, mantle, inner core and outer core. The crust is made of the ocean crust and the continents. The mantle is made of plastic it is very hot liquid. The outer core is very hot liquid. And the inner core is hot solid made mainly of iron. :) :P <3 .....
How much mass is the earths mantle?
two hundred million boxes of fried chicken
Is much of the upper mantle made of granite?
yes
Where is earth greatest bulk composition located?
The Earth's greatest bulk composition is located in the Earth's mantle. The mantle is comprised of many elements that include oxygen, iron, sulfur, silicon, nickel, sulfur, magnesium, calcium, and much more.
What are convection currents in the Earth?
Upwelling of hot mantle materials rising to the cooler surface of the mantle. This constant movement, much like water boiling in a pot, creates a current.
How much mass does the mantle have?
the mantle holds 85% of the Earth mass
How much of earth mass is made up by core?
50%
What are the differences of crust and mantle?
The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
What is the solid yet soft layer of the Earth that is responsible for much of the earth's geologic activity?
The mantle. Earth's layers are core, outer core, mantle, lithosphere, and crust.

Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
What is is the meaning of Earth's lower mantle?
The lower mantle is the portion of the Earth's mantle layer that extends from a depth of 670 km to 2798 km from the surface. Minerals present in the rock of the upper mantle become unstable at these depths. Little is known about the lower mantle other than that seismic waves indicate it is fairly homogenous in lithology and therefore density.
What are the three features of the three compositional layers of earth?
Crust: very thin, rocky and well.. Crusty. Is broken into smaller parts called techtonic plates. Mantle: the biggest part, made mostly of moltent iron. Core: the hottest part, also made of molten iron, but is much hotter that the mantle, but smaller sinc its in the centre of the earth.
