What composition is earths crust?
oceanic crust is made of basalt while continental crust is made of silica rich rocks like granite.
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
The layer of the earths crust that is not covered by ocean water is called what?
continental crust
Does Rhyolitic magma forms beneath continental or oceanic crust?
Rhyolitic magma typically forms beneath continental crust due to high silica content and low temperature. The silica-rich composition leads to viscous magma, which is more common in continental settings compared to oceanic crust where magma tends to be more basaltic and less viscous.
What is the general composition of earths continental crust?
Water
How do you get silicon out of earths crust?
Silicon is typically extracted from silica, which is found in the Earth's crust as quartz. The most common method to extract silicon involves heating silica with carbon in an electric arc furnace to produce silicon and carbon monoxide gas. This process is known as the carbothermic reduction of silica.
Why is there less silica in ocean water than river and ground water?
almost no silica in ocean water but most of its the earths crust.
How thick is the earths continental crust?
The continental crust is about 25 to 70 kilometers thick. The average is about 50 kilometers.
What makes up the continental crust?
The continental crust is made up of mainly granite and other high-silica rocks. It is less dense than oceanic crust and thicker, ranging from 20 to 70 kilometers in depth. The continental crust also contains various minerals and elements such as aluminum, potassium, and silicon.
Is the continental crust the land you walk on?
well, to be technical the earths crust is really on the inner outside
The earths crust is made of rock sections called?
Continental plates.
What is not one of the eight common elements in earths continental crust?
Carbon
