What separates the mantle and core?
convection currents
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
What is the layer below the earths crust called?
the mantle then the outer core then the inner core
Which layer of the Earth separates the crust and mantle?
The Core Mantle boundary - also known as the Guttenberg discontinuity separates the earth's mantle from its core. It is divided into two layers, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core, the center of earth, is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten, but the inner core pressures are so great that it cannot melt, even though temperatures there reach 6700ºF (3700ºC). The outer core is about 1370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism.
What is the thick rocky layer around earths core?
The core of the earth is surrounded by the mantle.The earth's core is called the inner core. Just outside that is the outer core, and it is liquid. Outside the liquid outer core is the mantle.
The shadow zone separates P waves that have reached the surface through the mantle from P waves that have reached the surface after passing through both the mantle and the core?
true.
What separates the mantle and core?
convection currents
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath this layer?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found above the earth layer called the outer core. This boundary line, which separates the outer core from the lower mantle, is approximately 1798 miles below the Earth's surface.
What are the layers of the earth from thinnest to thickest?
From thick to thin: mantle, outer core, inner core, crust.
What is the Earth's core to the Earth's surface?
Starting from the core, here is a list of how to get to the surface (crust): core (middle), mantle (biggest), crust (surface, ground, rock)
What is the mantle of?
It is composed of very hot rock that is "plastic" (slowly moving and deforming). It is not as liquid as the outer core, or the magma that separates the crust from the mantle.
What is the three parts of the earth's surface?
crust mantle core
What is named after the German geologist that discovered the thing that separates the earth's mantle from the outer core?
the Gutenberg discontinuity
Is molten rock only close to surface?
no! it can be in the mantle or the outer core
What is the layer below the earths crust called?
the mantle then the outer core then the inner core
Is a core a person place or thing?
core is a thing ...... also it can be part of the earth's surface inner core,outer core,mantle,crust
