What layer makes up 84 percent of the Earth?
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the uppermost mantle, which is also solid. If that's what you're asking.
What layer makes up most of the earths volume?
ANSWER: The crust floats on the asthenospheric mantle, which is convecting due to the forces of plate tectonics. The mantle, which extends to a depth of nearly 3,000 kilometers is the source of all magma. The mantle makes up 84% of the earth's volume and can sometimes get as hot as 3700°C. ==== ====
What makes the mantle of the earth core unique?
because it is in a semi molten
How much larger is the mantle then the crust?
The mantle is substantially larger than the Earth's crust. The crust varies in thickness, anywhere from 5-70 km, while the mantle measures at about 2900 km. Also, while the crust accounts for less than one percent of the Earth's over all volume, the mantle makes up a hefty 84%.
Why does radiation not occur in Earth's mantle?
Simply put, the material that makes up Earth's mantle is opaque, so heat cannot pas through it by radiation.
What makes up 82 percent of earth's volume?
mantle
How many percent does the mantle makes up of earth?
This passage comes from wikipedia. The mantle is ... about 2,970 km thick (~1,800 mi) rocky shell that constitutes about 84 percent of Earth's volume. It is predominantly solid and takes over Earth's iron-rich hot core, which occupies about 15 percent of Earth's volume
Which layer makes up mostly all earth volume?
the mantle
how many percent does the mantle makes up the earth?
80%
What percentage is the mantel of the earth mass?
The mantle makes up 68.4 % of earth's mass and 49.5 % of earth's volume. The mantle extends from the base of the crust to a depth of about 2900 km (1800 mi).
What layer makes up 84 percent of the Earth?
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the uppermost mantle, which is also solid. If that's what you're asking.
What makes up earth's mantle?
oxygen, nitrogen, every ****** mineral and more on the periodic table...take chemistry
What layer of the earth is so dense that it makes up 32 percent of the earth's mass yet only 16 percent of the earth's volume?
The core!
The Earth's plates are presently drifting on?
The Earth's tectonic plates drift above a thick layer called the mantle. It makes up about 84 of the Earth's volume.

What makes the earth's mantle so hot?
the earth's mantle is full of lava so the lava is what makes it so hot
What makes the mantle of the earth core unique?
because it is in a semi molten
