What does the crust mantle and the core all have in common?
The crust, mantle, and core are all layers of the Earth's structure. They are part of the Earth's composition and are differentiated based on their chemical and physical properties. Additionally, they all play a role in the Earth's geologic processes and overall structure.
Who are the scientists that study waves that travel within earth as the result of an earthquake?
They are Geologists specializing as Geophysicists in the subject area of seismology. They would call themselves seismologists.
What do you call a gap in the earths crust through which molten rock escapes onto the earths surface?
Volcano or shield volcano.
How does a hot spot form?
A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn'twhen the mantle is weak
Where does magma form?
Magma is the term applied to molten rock beneath the surface of the earth. It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava. A link can be found below.
What do geologists call the crust and upper core mantle?
Geologists have determined that our planet the Earth has a layered internal structure. There is a solid nickel iron core surrounded by a layer of molten iron. Above this there is the mantle and floating on top of the mantle there is the crust made of Oceanic and Continental materials.
What do geologists call the crust and the uppermost mantle?
lithosphere
What do geologist call the earths crust and upper mantle?
The lithosphere.
Outer most layer of earth?
The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust or lithosphere.
What do you call the region of Earth between the core and the crust?
Between the core and the crust is the mantle. The upper mantle contains the hard lithosphere and the weak asthenosphere. The lower mantle is marked by an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, the rocks in the lower mantle flow much slower.The mantle...the mantleThis layer is called the mantle.The part of the Earth that is located between the core and the crust is called the mantle.The four general layers are:1. Crust (outer and surface layer)2. Mantle (thickest individual layer)3) Outer Core (liquid)4) Inner Core (solid)The mantle is sometimes divided into the mantle (proper) and the upper mantle, which exhibits some different characteristics from the layer as a whole.
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called?
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What do you call the plastic zone between the mantle and the crust?
Mohorovicic discontinuity (or simply Moho)
Is the outermost layer of the earth call the mantle?
No. The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust.
What do you call the layers of earth?
For a science project you could use different colored sand.
What do you call people who dig up the earch crust?
Well if you mean looking for fossils and such then it is paleontologists.
Which layer of the earth is the place where earthquake waves unexpectedly slow down?
Direct Answer: AsthenosphereExplained Answer: Earthquake waves normally go faster with increasing depth. However, below the lithosphere, the upper mantle contains a curious layer in which earthquake waves unexpectedly slow down. Geologists call this layer the asthenosphere.
What do geologists call an area where there is one type of topography?
Geologists call an area where there is one type of topography a landform region.
