How many elements make up the majority of Earths continental crust?
Oxygen Silicon Sodium Potassium Magnesium Iron
What metals makes up the core?
The outer core is a layer of the Earth, the second to last layer. It creates the Earths Magnetic field by moving around the inner core. There are two metals that make up the outer core, these two metals are iron and nickel. The inner core is so hot that it melts the nickel and iron turning it into liquid magma.
What metals make up the earths atmosphere?
Metals are not a part of earth's atmosphere. All metals are solid under normal conditions, except for mercury, which is a liquid.
What 8 elements predominatly make up earth's crust?
The 8 main elements of the Earths crust are, Oxygen. Silicon. Alluminium. Iron. Calcium. Sodium. Potassium. Magnessium.
What are the main elements in the outer core?
The outer core is a layer of the Earth, the second to last layer. It creates the Earths Magnetic field by moving around the inner core. There are two metals that make up the outer core, these two metals are iron and nickel. The inner core is so hot that it melts the nickel and iron turning it into liquid magma.
What two elements make up earths core?
The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.
What type of rocks make up the earths core?
The Earth's core is not made up of rocks. It is made up primarily of nickel and iron.
What are the elements found on the earths core?
Iron and Nickel. They are what make the earth core magnetic.
Does molten iron make up the earth's core?
Liquid iron and nickel make up the outer core of the Earth.
Why do you melt iron to make steel?
Steel is iron with added carbon and other materials. For other materials to mix chemically with the iron, it has to be liquid. Melting iron changes it to liquid.
What material make up the outer core?
Mostly liquid iron and nickel.
Name three elements that make up most of earths mantle?
The rocks in earths mantel are made up of 44.8% oxygen, 21.5% silicon, and 22.8% magnesium. Iron, calcium, sodium, aluminum, and potassium are also present. The elements occur in rocks as oxides.
