What is the first most abundant material in Earth's crust?
Rock is the most abundant material in the crust.
Is silica is the most abundant material on earth?
No,the second most abundant
What creates the Earths magnetic field?
Scientists believe that it is the movements in the liquid outer core that create the magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field affects the whole planet.
What are two effects of Earth's magnetic?
Earth's magnetic field can make magnets out of ferromagnetic material and it affects the movements of electrically charged particles in space.
How does an earth magnet work?
An Earth magnet works by aligning the magnetic domains within a material in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment allows the material to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. The Earth itself acts like a giant magnet due to the movement of molten iron in its core generating a magnetic field.
What is the second most abundant material in Earth's crust?
H2O (or water). We just learned about this in Life Science, so I remember.
How does earth magnetic field affect a compass?
The earth's magnetic field acts upon the magnetic material of the compass needle, causing it to align to the field. Thus, the compass appears to point North, which is "magnetic north". Magnetic north and "true north" are about 300 miles apart.
Which is most abundant on earth mantle material or granite rock or liquid water or basalt or inner core?
The most abundant material on Earth is basalt, which can be found in the oceanic crust. The mantle is also a significant component, making up the majority of Earth's volume. Liquid water is abundant on Earth's surface, but is much less common when compared to the solid materials in the Earth's interior. The inner core is composed mainly of solid iron and nickel.
What element most likely responsible for the magnetic field?
Iron is the element most likely responsible for Earth's magnetic field. It is abundant in the Earth's core and exhibits magnetic properties under certain conditions. Movement of molten iron in the outer core generates electric currents, which in turn create the magnetic field.
The magnetic domains are two regios of space above Earth's surface that contain electrons and protons thraveling at high speeds?
Actually, magnetic domains are regions within a magnetic material where the atom's magnetic moments are lined up in a preferred orientation, contributing to the overall magnetic properties of the material. These domains can be influenced by external magnetic fields and play a role in the material's magnetism.
When molten material hardens into the rock on the ocean floor the domains of the iron it contains?
align with Earth's magnetic field, freezing the magnetic orientation of those minerals. This creates a record of the Earth's magnetic field at the time of cooling, which scientists can study to understand past changes in the planet's magnetic field.
Why do scientists think the earths core contains iron?
Scientists think the Earth's core contains iron because of the planet's magnetic field. Iron is a magnetic material, and the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in the outer core. Additionally, seismic waves and the density of the Earth indicate a high concentration of iron in the core.
