What layer of the earth contains granite and basalt in the GREATEST abundance?
Crust
What is the top layer of the Earth's crust made of?
basalt, granite, bedrock mostly
Why is basalt found on the continents?
Lithosphere literally means "rocky globe" and refers to the rough outermost layer of any rocky planet--Earth included. For that reason the crust and the coolest top part of the mantle of Earth is called the lithosphere because it is the most rigid layer of the Earth in comparison to the hotter, more viscous layers beneath it.
Is venus made of rock or gas?
Although Venus has a thick atmosphere it has a rocky composition and iron core similar to Earth.
What does the outter most layer of the earth consist of?
The thin, solid, outermost layer of the Earth is officially known as the crust.
