How long get to the center of the world if you were to dig?
You would die before you got very far. The earth's crust is 124 miles thick. After that you come upon the mantle (which is about 100-250 miles thick), which consists of molten rock (more commonly known as magma) and is split into three layers: Upper mantle, Mantle, Inner Mantle, each ranging between 600-900 degrees Celsius (or 1,112-1,652 degrees Fahrenheit). Once through the Mantle, you come upon the Inner core which is 1,400 miles thick and made up of Iron and Nickel and has a temperature of 6,692 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you have the inner core which is 750 miles thick and made of solid iron and nickel and has a temperature of about 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit (THAT"S HOTTER THAN THE SUN!) So as you can see, you would be dead before you reach the center of the earth.
How does the earths mantle differ from its crust?
Inner core: 2450 km thick Outer core: 2300 km thick Lower mantle: 2500 km thick Upper Mantle: 400 km thick continental crust: 30-70 km thick Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
Earth is mainly composed of what?
By mass, the Earth is composed of mostly iron (35 percent), oxygen (30 percent), silicon (15 percent), and magnesium (13 percent). It is made of distinct layers: a thin crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core, as well as transition zones. The crust is thinner under the oceans but thicker under the continents. While the inner core and crust are solid, the outer core and mantle layers are semi-fluid. Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, which is mostly made of the minerals olivene and pyroxene (iron and magnesium silicates). The elements calcium and aluminum are abundant in the upper mantle and while silicon, magnesium, and oxygen are major components of the lower mantle. The core is probably composed mostly of iron (perhaps with some nickel), where the temperature may be as high as 7227 °C (13,040 °F) at the center -- which is hotter than the surface of the Sun
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
In which layer of earth do convection current occur?
in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to
What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
Which of the layers of the inner earth are made of of liquid rock?
the answer is the mantle
What materials is a planet made of?
Inner core , outer core, mantle and crust
What material makes up earth's inner core outer core and mantle?
the inner core is made up of solid iron, the outer core is made out of molten metal, and the mantle is made up of solid it feels like Jello.
What are the differences of crust and mantle?
The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
The core of the earth is made up of how many layers?
Inner core Outer core Lower mantle Upper mantle Astenosphere Moho Lithosphere Crust
Is earth made up of several layers?
It has 4 layers. Earth layers consist of upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core and inner core.
Who went into the mantle?
god made the mantle
