What else can I help you with?
Does the crust have the lightest weight rocks?
No, the Earth's crust is made up of relatively light rocks like granite, but the mantle below the crust is denser. The crust floats on the semi-fluid mantle due to differences in density.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
What are the principal divisions of the solid earth based on compositional differences?
The principal divisions of the solid Earth based on compositional differences are the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer and is composed mainly of lighter elements like silicon and oxygen. The mantle lies beneath the crust and consists of denser silicate minerals. The Earth's core is located at the center and is primarily made up of iron and nickel.
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
How far down does earths mantle go?
The Earth's mantle extends from the base of the crust down to a depth of about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) at the boundary with the outer core. This region is divided into the upper mantle and lower mantle based on differences in composition and behavior.
What do you think subduction means?
subduction is when a piece of the earths crust slides back into the mantle due to density differences
What is the coldest crust or the mantle?
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
Is the lithosphere in the mantle or crust?
uppermost part of the mantle and the crust together
What is The distinction between the crust and the mantle is primarily on the basis of a difference in?
The distinction between the crust and the mantle is primarily based on differences in composition and physical properties. The crust is composed mainly of lighter, silicate minerals, while the mantle is made up of denser, magnesium and iron-rich silicates. Additionally, the crust is relatively rigid and thin, whereas the mantle is more viscous and extends to a much greater depth beneath the Earth's surface.
