What is the most abudant element in earths crust?
The most abundant element in Earth's crust is oxygen, making up about 46.6% of the crust by weight.
An agent of metamorphism resulting from the weight of rocks above?
This is known as burial metamorphism, where rocks are subjected to increasing pressure as they are buried deep within the Earth's crust. The weight of overlying rocks causes the minerals within the rocks to recrystallize and change their mineralogical composition, leading to metamorphic changes.
True or false continental crust is made of rocks such as granite?
True. Continental crust is primarily composed of lighter rocks such as granite, which are less dense than the basaltic rocks found in oceanic crust. This is why continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
What is the lightest weight element that is not a gas?
The lightest weight element that is not a gas at room temperature is lithium. It is a solid metal with a low density and atomic number 3.
Which is denser Oceanic Crust or Continental Crust?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust because it is composed of denser rocks like basalt and gabbro, while continental crust is made up of lighter rocks like granite and sedimentary rocks. This density difference is due to the composition and thickness of each type of crust.
Which part of the earth has the lightest weight rocks?

In weightlifting which weight division is lightest?
The lightest one of weightlifting is feather weight.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
Does lightest means lowest?
Not necessarily. However, when referring to weight, lightest would indicate the lowest weight.
What causes the pressure to allow diamonds to form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle.
What is the most abudant element in earths crust?
The most abundant element in Earth's crust is oxygen, making up about 46.6% of the crust by weight.
Was the Caravel the lightest ship?
No, the caravel was not the lightest ship. It was a relatively small and nimble vessel, but not the lightest in terms of weight.
What is the lightest weight ladder?
Alum,
Which common lumber is lightest weight?
Cedar is one of the lightest weight common lumbers available. It is often chosen for its lightness and natural resistance to decay and insects.
