What is the crust composition of Jupiter?
The planet Jupiter has no crust... It is a 'gas giant' - the gaseous composition being held in place by an immensely powerful magnetic field.
What is the adjective and noun in this sentence one giant rock was carved in two pieces by ice?
One, giant, and two (adjectives) Rock, pieces, and ice (nouns)
The plates that cover the earth are like giant?
Puzzle pieces
What is Neptune's crust like?
Neptune is not a terrestrial planet, it's actually a gas giant, so it doesn't have crust, nor any solid surface.
What do you call the giant pieces of the earth that are always moving?
The giant pieces of the Earth that are always moving are called tectonic plates. They are large, rigid pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that fit together like a puzzle and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these tectonic plates, known as plate tectonics, is responsible for shaping the Earth's continents, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountain ranges.
What layer of the earth make up these plates?
"plates" are the term for the giant sheets of rock on the earths crust
What do scientists call the giant puzzle pieces that make up the earths surface?
tectonic plates
What is a section of the lithosphere that slowly moves over the asthenosphere carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust?
Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces.
What is the idea of giant plates of rock moving slowly across earths surface called?
rocks
What are the giant pieces of earth outer layer where most earthquakes occur called?
tectonic plates

Why does silicon can form giant structures?
Silicon (like carbon) can form covalent bonds, it forms a giant molecule with the diamond structure. Silicon dioxide is also a giant structure with polar covalent bonds. Silica reacts with basic oxides to form silicates- and these are generally giant structures, polar covalent bonds again, that form a very large proportion of the minerals in the earths crust.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
Will you find bits and pieces of a giant squid inside a sperm whale?
The sperm whale eats the giant squid, so yes, you will find bits and pieces of the giant squid inside them.
