How would the surface of the moon look different if the crust on the far side were the same as the near side?
While the earth rotates, the moon revolves around it. While the moon rotates it has different phases. Improvement : I think this question is about the fact that the Moon's crust seems to be thicker on the "far side". This may be why there's much less sign of volcanic activity on the far side.
How would the action of jumping up and down on the surface of the moon be different from jumping up and down on the surface of Earth?
No different at all except that for the same effort you would jump higher on the Moon
What is the surface temperature of Draco the constellation?
each different star in the constellation (there are 13) would have a different surface temperature, which is based on what phase of stellar life they are in and how massive they are
What is the surface like of Ursa Major?
Ursa Major does not have a surface. Ursa Major is a constellation. It is therefore a collection of stars. All of those stars would be very different.
How might mars be different if its surface did not contain so much iron?
mars is a planet made out of rock so the iron is still there its just that earth has more power
Where would the thickness of the earth's crust be about 40 km?
The thickness of the Earh's crust about 40 km will be at the contenintal crust.
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).
Why would a certain thickness of continental crust displace less of the mantle than the same thickness of oceanic crust?
Because its less dense
A change in a core would have greatest affected?
the thickness of the crust
What is the thickness of the earths crust in miles?
The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.

The relative thickness of the Earths crust is similar to the relative thickness of the?
The relative thickness of the earth's crust would be approximately 1/3 to 1/4 the thickness of an eggshell if the earth were the size of a chicken's egg. (Actually being 7/2 = 3.5 ratio.)
How would earth be different if its crust did not move and it lacked tectonic plates?
Its surface would look like that of the Moon, Mars or Mercury all of which do not have tectonic plates and a fixed crust.
