How long get to the center of the world if you were to dig?
You would die before you got very far. The earth's crust is 124 miles thick. After that you come upon the mantle (which is about 100-250 miles thick), which consists of molten rock (more commonly known as magma) and is split into three layers: Upper mantle, Mantle, Inner Mantle, each ranging between 600-900 degrees Celsius (or 1,112-1,652 degrees Fahrenheit). Once through the Mantle, you come upon the Inner core which is 1,400 miles thick and made up of Iron and Nickel and has a temperature of 6,692 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you have the inner core which is 750 miles thick and made of solid iron and nickel and has a temperature of about 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit (THAT"S HOTTER THAN THE SUN!) So as you can see, you would be dead before you reach the center of the earth.
How does the earths mantle differ from its crust?
Inner core: 2450 km thick Outer core: 2300 km thick Lower mantle: 2500 km thick Upper Mantle: 400 km thick continental crust: 30-70 km thick Oceanic Crust: 6 km thick
How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
Earth is mainly composed of what?
By mass, the Earth is composed of mostly iron (35 percent), oxygen (30 percent), silicon (15 percent), and magnesium (13 percent). It is made of distinct layers: a thin crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core, as well as transition zones. The crust is thinner under the oceans but thicker under the continents. While the inner core and crust are solid, the outer core and mantle layers are semi-fluid. Most of the mass of the Earth is in the mantle, which is mostly made of the minerals olivene and pyroxene (iron and magnesium silicates). The elements calcium and aluminum are abundant in the upper mantle and while silicon, magnesium, and oxygen are major components of the lower mantle. The core is probably composed mostly of iron (perhaps with some nickel), where the temperature may be as high as 7227 °C (13,040 °F) at the center -- which is hotter than the surface of the Sun
What layer of the Earth is made up of hot lava?
the mantle
In which layer of earth do convection current occur?
in the mantle due to the molten rock... hope this helps!!! =] also for better detail they happen in the asthenospheric mantle to
What layers are found in the earths interior?
The Earth's interior consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is composed of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Beneath the mantle is the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, composed of solid iron and nickel.
What is the earth interior made up of?
its made of a mantle, inner core, outter core and crust.......and a magnetic field. The interior is made up of the # crust # lithosphere (part of crust & upper mantle) # upper mantle # asthenosphere (more liquid-like part of mantle) # lower mantle # outer core (liquid ball) # inner core (solid ball) ...is what im pretty sure of
What materials is a planet made of?
Inner core , outer core, mantle and crust
What are the differences of crust and mantle?
The Earth is made up thus: Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust. We live on the crust, with semi-plastic molten rock forming much of the mantle beneath us.
Who went into the mantle?
god made the mantle
What is the central part of Earth below the mantle?
The central part of Earth below the mantle is the core. The core is divided into the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, and the inner core, which is solid due to high pressure despite being made of the same materials.
What part of the earth has the crust mantle inner an outer part?
The earth is made up of 4 layers. The inner core in the center, surrounded by the outer core. The inner core is solid and still. The outer core is molten metals and moves around the inner core contributing to earth's magnetic field. After the inner core and outer core comes the mantel and then the earth's crust. The crust makes up the surface of the earth.
What part of the earth system is made of the crust mantle inner core and outer core?
The geosphere.
What layer of earth is made of melted rock and solid?
the inner core
inner core?
the layer of the earth just below the mantle mode of more soild material
What is the structures of the layers of the earth?
The Earth has three main layers: the core (inner and outer core), the mantle, and the crust. The core is composed mostly of iron and nickel, the mantle is made up of solid rock that can flow over long periods of time, and the crust is the outermost layer where we live, made up of solid rock that floats on the semi-fluid mantle.
