Why do less dense compounds make up earths crust while the densest compound make up the earths core?
because the heavier elements are pulled toward center of the earth by gravity

Why do less dense compounds make up earths crust while the densest compounds make up the core?
because the heavier elements are pulled toward center of the earth by gravity
What is the densest type of crust?
No. The crust is the least dense of Earth's layers. The inner core is the densest player.
What is the order of earths layers from less dense to most dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
Oxygen is a gas at normal conditions. Scientists report that oxygen is the most common element in the earths crust. The earths crust is composed of solids and liquids. Explain this apparent contradi?
If you talk about elements, then oxygen is O, and O is found in many, many COMPOUNDS. So, if a compound is found in the crust, and if it contains oxygen (like water, H2O), then the element oxygen will be counted. It doesn't have to be in a gaseous form. In addition, O2 gas can also be found dissolved in some liquids.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
What are the 2 most common compound on earth?
Very probable these compounds are water and silicon dioxide (in the Earth crust).
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What elements are found in the earths crust and has 14 protons?
Silicon is the element in the Earth's crust that has 14 protons. Quartz is crystallized Silicon Dioxide. Flint is also silicon dioxide. The compounds of Silicon are known as silicates.
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
