What is the last step of a earthquake?
the final step of an earhquake is tge energy takes the form of vibrations that move through earths crust
How do geologists use rocks to prove the existence of oxygen in earths early atmosphere?
They look at the mineral composition of the rocks. There are some minerals that can only form in the presence of oxygen.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
What happens when earths two most abundant elements are combined?
The two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust are oxygen and silicon. When you combine them, you get silicon dioxide; which depending on the exact form it takes is glass or quartz or sand.They tend to combine further with other elements to produce silicate rocks.The two most abundant elements in Earth as a whole are iron and oxygen. When you combine them, you get iron oxide (rust, hematite, magnetite). The reason iron isn't more common in the crust than it is is that it's heavy and has been concentrated in the Earth's core.
What causes changes to earths land form?

What element is abundant in earths crust and combines with oxygen to form rocks and minerals?
Silicon
What of earths layers has the greatest amount of oxygen?
The Earth's crust has the greatest amount of oxygen. Oxygen makes up about 46.6% of the Earth's crust by weight, primarily in the form of oxides such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
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 are the two most abundant elements in earths crust and what mineral group do these elements form?
oxygen and silicon they form silicates, i think
What percentage of earths crust is made up of oxygen and silicon?
Oxygen and silicon make up about 75% of Earth's crust, with oxygen being the most abundant element at around 46.6% and silicon at around 27.7%. Together, they form the majority of the minerals that make up the Earth's crust.
How many elements form on the earths crust?
i have no clue
Does basalt form most of the earths crust?
yes
Why can and rsquot we breathe the oxygen from the earths crust?
We cannot breathe the oxygen from the Earth's crust because oxygen in the crust is primarily bound within minerals and rocks, not in its gaseous form. While the atmosphere contains free oxygen (O2) that we can inhale, the oxygen in the crust is typically part of compounds like silicates and oxides, which are not usable for respiration. Additionally, the oxygen in the atmosphere is released through processes like photosynthesis, making it accessible for us to breathe.
Why you can not breath the oxygen in the earths crust?
The oxygen in Earth's crust is typically bound to other elements in compounds, making it unavailable for respiration. Even if it were in a breathable form, it would be present in very low concentrations compared to the oxygen in the atmosphere. Breathing the oxygen trapped in the Earth's crust would not provide the necessary oxygen levels for sustaining human life.
What element commonly found in solid form within Earth's Crust?
what are two elements that can be found in the soiold earths crust
In which form do many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface?
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
