What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
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.
How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
What is the earths core crust broken into?
The Earth's crust is broken into large sections known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and can move due to convection currents in the mantle. The interactions between these plates can lead to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. The Earth's crust is divided into two main types: continental crust and oceanic crust.
Are some mountains get higher by earth crust?
No ther are not mountains that get higher by the earths crust
What do they call the large piece on the earths crust?
Mountains
Percentage of the exposed earths crust occupied by mountains is?
6%
What is phosphous most commonly found in?
phosphorus is commonly found in the earths crust because it is a rock
Is mountains cause by Earth's crust?
yes, mountains are the result of drifting of earths crust towards each other over millions of result... The Himalaya, Andes etc. mountains were made through this drifting process....
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
Where could you find granite?
Granite is commonly found in areas with mountain ranges and where tectonic plates meet, such as in the Himalayas, Rocky Mountains, and Andes. It is also commonly quarried in countries like Brazil, India, and China.
Where is oxygen most commonly found in?
under the earths crust in trees and everywhere you can think of pretty much
What type of mountain is form by upward movements by ckunks of earths crust?
Fold mountains are formed by the upward movements of chunks of the Earth's crust. This occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing horizontal compression and the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of fold mountains like the Himalayas.
Where is the crust the thickest on plate?
The crust is thickest on oceanic plates where the crust is typically around 5-10 km thick under the oceans. In contrast, continental crust is generally thicker, around 30-50 km thick, with some mountain ranges having crust that can be even thicker.
What moves mountains and earthquakes together?
earthquakes make the earths crust collide and sometimes they smash together,such as if one peice of crust goes under the other...makng a point...
What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
