What layers form the tectonic plates?
minerals and such. each layer has different elements. crust: oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium mantle: magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen outer core: super-heated liquid molten lava, which is mostly made of iron, and nickel inner core: mostly of iron, and small amounts of nickel. with oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and magnesium i hope this all helped
What are the 5 chemical layers of the earth?
Physically, the Earth has numerous layers. Chemically, however, the solid portion of Earth can be divided into three distinct layers. In order from the surface going down, they are as follows: 1. The Crust--Major chemical constituents are oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. 2. The Mantle--Major chemical constituents are silicon, oxygen, iron, and magnesium. 3. The Core--Mostly iron and nickel.

Are all earthquakes in the earth's crust?
It happens in the mantle and crust because the focus is the starting point and it is usually starts at the lithosphere(mantle) or near the mantle, but almost there.The focus rises up and the epicenter is the start of the earthquake.
What layer of earth is made of all molten material the inner core the crust the outer core or the lithosphere?
it is made out of iron and other stuff
Which layer of earth are made mostly of rocks?
Hard rocks form the outer layer of the Earth (the lithosphere) which includes the crust and upper mantle. Rocks of the remaining mantle are in a plastic state, able to move, bend and deform without breaking.
What are the 3 layers of the Earth's?
crust,inner core, outer core, and mantle
Is mt Whitney on the crust mantle or core?
It is on the crust. All landforms you see are part of the crust.
How are crust mantle and core related?
They are all parts of the Earth.
Does the lithosphere include all of the core and some of the mantle?
No, rather it is the crust and the uppermost brittle mantle.
What includes all layers from the core to the crust?
the layers of the earth 1. lithosphere 2. crust 3. upper mantle 4. lower mantle 5. outer core 6. inner core
What is all of earth's crust waters and atmosphere?
The Earth's crust includes everything we know ON EARTH except for the Mantle, and core, and the elements of the mantle, and core.
The lithosphere includes all of the core and part of the mantle?
It seems like it is a question from a book. but the answer is FALSE. It is the crust, not the core
Is the mantle solid liquid?
It is a solid from the liquid outer core all the way to the crust
What are the Earth's crust core and mantle?
The earth's crust is all the ground that we see on a daily bases, hills, oceans, mountains, waterfalls, everything on top. The core is the extremely hot center of the earth. The mantle is all the substance between these two.
Where is the mantle located in the calm?
The mantle is that part of the Earth between the crust and the outer core. It's upper boundary is at the base of the crust at a depth below the surface which can vary between 7 and 35 km. It extends all the way to the Earth's outer core at a depth of around 2890 km.the Earths mantle is located between the crust and outer core of the Earth. it is the thickest layer.
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
What is each layer of earths starting from earths center include both layers of the core and all of the layers of the mantle?
Inner core (probably solid); outer core (probably liquid); mantle, crust.
