What are some similarities and differences between the mantle and the core?
the mantle is the part under the crust made up of nickel and iron moving about causing volcanoes whereas the core is solid because it is so tightly packed the minerals and metals have very constricted movement. the mantle is also the largest part of the Earth. the core has 2 sections the inner core and outer core
What are 2 types of minerals found in Earth's crust?
continental oceanic
How does the earth sustain life?
water, Oxygen, CO 2 Minerals
What is just below the Earth's crust?
The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.
What is the definition of hydrosphere and lithosphere?
The hydrosphere (from Greek ὕδωρ - hudōr, "water"[1] and σφαῖρα - sphaira, "sphere"[2]) in physical geography describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.The lithosphere (Ancient Greek: λίθος [lithos] for "rocky", and σφαῖρα [sphaira] for "sphere") is the rigid[1]outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it comprises the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of thousands of years or greater.
What makes up earth's mantle?
oxygen, nitrogen, every ****** mineral and more on the periodic table...take chemistry

The middle layer of earth?
The "middle layer" between the outer crust and the Earth's core is called the mantle. While it is solid material, it is also highly fluid due to the pressure of the overlying crust.
How is the earth' mantle like a peanut butter sandwich?
The earth's mantle is like a PP&J because of the core is colder. It is like the core is the peanut butter and the earth is jelly.

water, Oxygen, CO 2 Minerals
Where are 2 places in Earth that has convention currents?
The mantle and the ocean both have examples of convection currents.
What are the two meanings of lithospere?
1. the solid portion of the earth ( distinguished from atmosphere , hydrosphere ). 2. the crust and upper mantle of the earth
What is just below the Earth's crust?

Which layer makes up 2-3 of the earth's mass?
The layer of earth that makes up about two-thirds of earths mass is the inner-mantle..
Name 2 layers of earth in which convection currents take place?
athenosphere and lithosphere
