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.
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layer's it's likely that the two rock layers?
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layers, it's likely that the two rock layers ____.
How thick is the Earth's crust under the whole world?
Approximately eight miles deep, thinner in some spots in the ocean by up to two miles, our top layer of "crust" gives way to a molten rock layer called the "mantle."
How thick is earth's outer most layer?
its about two miles thick
The earths crust is made of?
The Earth crust is made up with two layers known as " sial"and "sima". "sial" is the uppermost layer which composition is silica(si) and aluminum(al), that's why it is call "sial" and this layer comprises all the three rock types i. e. Igneous, sedimentary and Metamorphic rock. The second layer "sima" is formed with silica(si) and magnesium(ma). "sima' is generally composed of Basaltic rock.
Which two layer of the earth are made of rocks?
crust and mantle
What layer of earth's crust is made of granite?
The upper crust of earth has two layer the upper one is made up of granite. This is called a slab of lithosphere.
Which two earth layers are made of rock?

What is the earth made up of explain 3 major layers?
Earth is made up of iron, magnesium, nickel, and rock. The crust is the outer layer, only 5-40 km thick. Is has two parts, oceanic crust and continental crust. Continental is made up of granite, while oceanic is made of basalt. The mantle is the second layer of the earth. It has three parts to it: lithosphere, mesosphere, and ionosphere. This layer is about 3,000 km thick and is made up of iron and magnesium as well as rock. The mantle has millions of convection currents inside of it, helping form the magnetic field around the Earth's atmosphere. Finally, there's the core. It has only two parts, called the inner and outer core. They are both made of iron and nickel. The outer core is a liquid layer that covers the solid ball of iron we call the inner core. The inner core is solid because of all the pressure and heat applied to it from the layers above, making it unable to become a liquid layer. Also, the outer core is the only layer that's liquid. The rest are solid.
Which layer of the earth is round at the center and made up of two parts one liquid and one solid?
crust
Give two differences between the mantle and the core?
The mantle is a layer of hot,solid rock beneath the crust and a core is the central part of Earth.
What is a sloping layer of permeable rock between two rock layers of impermeable rock?
artesian formation (; your welcome!
What explains earthquakes and volcanoes erupting?
That's two different questions. Earthquakes don't erupt. Earthquakes happen when underground rock structures break, moving the earth above them. Volcanic eruptions happen with the pressure of the molten rock (magma from inside the Earth) breaks through a rock layer above it.
What is the name of upper suface of the earth?
The lithosphere, it consists of two parts, a thin outside layer of solid rock called the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle.
