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.
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 most dense to less dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
What portion of the earths crust is more dense oceanic or contenintal?
Oceanic crust is more dense.
Is the Mantle has most dense or least dense layer of the earth?
It is neither. The densest layer is the inner core. The least dense layer is the crust.
Which portion of earths crust is more dense. oceanic or continental?
Oceanic
Is the crust much more dense than the earth's center?
The earth's crust is less denser than the mantle.
Which movement of the Earths crust implies that the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust?
Plate tectonic movement and subduction zones.
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
What layers contain the least dense materials?
The least dense layer of the earth is the Crust , the mantle is second densest , whereas the core is the most dense layer of the earth
What is the superlative word for dense?
