The layer of moon that is composed of magnesium, iron,silicon (not silica) is called Crust.It is outermost layer of the moon. It also contains Calcium,Aluminum and Oxygen.
The moon is primarily made up of rock and metal. Its surface is covered with a layer of dust and rocks called regolith. The moon's composition is similar to Earth's crust, with elements like oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, calcium, and aluminum.
The moon is primarily composed of several elements, including oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, calcium, aluminum, and titanium.
The crust mostly consists of the same materials except that there is little iron (though there may be some in the tiny core) and water (exception being craters on the south pole permanently in shadow).
The Earth is composed of several layers. The outer layer is the crust, followed by the mantle and then the core. The crust mainly consists of rock and minerals, while the mantle is made up of molten rock. The core is composed mostly of iron and nickel.
No, the moon is not made of asbestos. The moon is primarily composed of rock and dust, with elements such as oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that is not found on the moon.
Igneous rocks that are medium colored and have no silica are called mafic rocks. They are mainly composed of magnesium and iron.
The Earth's mantle is approximately 1802 miles thick and is composed of silica, iron, magnesium, and other minerals. The mantle lies between the Earth's core and its crust, and plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates and the Earth's heat distribution.
Oceanic crust.
The largest layer of Earth's surface that is composed mostly of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.
The largest layer in Earth's surface composed mostly of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron is the mantle. The Earth's mantle is a solid-rock layer that lies between the crust and the core. It is rich in minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar, which contain these elements.
It depends on the type of meteorite: Stony meteorites are composed of Iron and Magnesium silicates. Stony-Iron meteorites are compose of silicates and Iron and Magnesium metals. Iron meteorites are primarily composed of Iron and Magnesium metals and Iron suphides.

Yes, this is true. The rocks in question are 'Mafic' or 'Basic'. Mafic minerals are often dark in colour, and are indeed composed of Iron, with a good portion of Magnesium and other elements. They are Silica/Quartz deficient, and also note that the mineralogy makes Basaltic lava particularly runny, as opposed to Andesitic lava, with high Silica, which is very viscous.
The mantle layer of the Earth is composed of silicates of metallic compounds. This layer lies between the Earth's core and crust and is rich in compounds like olivine and pyroxene that contain silicon and oxygen along with metallic elements like magnesium and iron.
No, the solid layer of Earth (the crust) is mostly composed of silicate minerals such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and magnesium. Iron is more abundant in the Earth's core and mantle rather than in the crust.
Mantle.Earth's largest layer is the mantle.
