What name is given to the area of th earth that forms the land?
The area of Earth that forms the land is called the lithosphere. It includes the outermost layer of the Earth, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
What land forms beside volcanoes are made by lava and ash?
the crust of the volcano
Are land forms and water bodies different?
Yes and No. Fundamentally Earth's tectonic processes have made two forms of Crust. New(ish) Oceanic crust (which underlies the Oceans) and Old Continental Crust (which forms the Land/Continents). Thus the Oceans and the Contents are different. However while the basic shape of the Oceanic crust is similar in all oceans (mid oceanic ridges, abyssal planes, continental slopes and deep see trenches), The Continental crust is much more varied and in basins shaped land forms in this crust water accumulates. In this instance these water bodies are therefore just another land form feature, a result of underlying topography.
Do humans walk on the crust of the earth?
Yes, humans walk on the crust of the Earth, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The Earth's crust is solid and forms the land we live on.
Which earths layer includes the land that make up the continents and land under the ocean?
The layer that includes the land making up continents and the land under the ocean is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. It is divided into continental crust, which forms the continents, and oceanic crust, which lies beneath the oceans.
What layer of the earth do we walk on?
We walk on the Earth's outermost layer, called the crust. The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth and is made up of solid rock that forms the land we live on.
When fissures in the earths crust through which molten lava ash and gasses escape what forms?
New land
Where are the oldest rocks in the ocean crust?
The oldest rocks are actually on land but in the ocean crust they would be the rocks closest to land. The mid-ocean ridge forms new rocks. They are usually located in the middle of the ocean.
How do oceanic and continental crust differ?
Oceanic crust is typically thinner, denser, and younger than continental crust. It is primarily composed of basaltic rocks and forms the ocean floor, while continental crust is thicker, less dense, and contains a wider variety of rock types, including granitic rocks. Continental crust forms the continents and is older than oceanic crust.
Which layer of the earth contains continents and other land forms?
The layer of the Earth that contains continents and other landforms is called the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth's structure and is composed of solid rocks. It is divided into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust.
