What extends from the bottom of the mantle to the center of the earth?
The Earth's core. Please see the related link for more information.
What are the thickest layers of the earth?
Thermosphere or the ionosphere is the thickest layer on earth. It reaches a height 400 kilometers.
Which of earth layers are the thickest?
As measured by its thickness from upper boundary to lower boundary in a downward direction, the mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth.
What is most of the earths mass in?
Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, most of the rest in the core; the part we inhabit is a tiny fraction of the whole
What would be the greatest effect if there was a change in the Earth's core?
convection currents in the mantle.
What would happen if Earth's convection currents in Earth's mantle slowed down.?
If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.
How have scientists been able to able to study earth's mantle?
In some places, Earth`s crust thins enough to see mantle.
What layer is the largest of the earth?
It is in the mantle, consisting of the upper and lower mantle, which measures about 2855 km. It is situated below the Earth's crust, about 35km from Earth's surface.
Could earth's mantle split allowing us to see it?
no
How was the planets mantle formed?
The earth's mantle would have formed initially in the same way as the crust, by the cooling of the earth but as for the metamorphic rock that defines the earth's mantle, that would have taken millions of years of extreme heat and pressure for it to form.
What would you be least likely to find in the earth's mantle?
Nickel
Which is thicker the earth's mantle or the outer core?
earth's mantle
What extends from the bottom of the mantle to the center of the earth?
The Earth's core. Please see the related link for more information.
What are the thickest layers of the earth?
Thermosphere or the ionosphere is the thickest layer on earth. It reaches a height 400 kilometers.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually down?
If the mantle of the earth interior were to cool down the convection currents and plate tectonics would stop. That would mean that there would be no more earthquakes or volcanoes.
What is the most expansive layer of the Earth?
The Earth's mantle comprises the bulk of the Earth.
What are the 3 main parts of the Earth from the center of the Earth out?
the three parts of the earth are: 1. the crust 2. the mantle and 3. the core
