Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 14.7 PSI. So, then what is the pressure at about 5,645 feet below the surface of the earth?
half of earths layer
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
it gets soggy
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
The continental crust is about 25 to 70 kilometers thick. The average is about 50 kilometers.
Silicon is a mixture of the minerals of the earths crust. so.... silicon isn't something from the earths crust. -thanks for your question.
thinner and denser
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.
how wide is the earths crust
The abundance of neodymium in the earths crust is approx. 40 ppm.
Yes all metals are in the earths crust in ore form.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
The earth's crust is not stress
