Which is more metallic aluminum or silicon?
Aluminum, of course. Silicon is a metalloid while Aluminum is a metal.
The deep mantle is composed of material with a lighter density than the outer mantle?
False. Density increases with increasing depth.
What are the two common elements in earth's crust?
oxygen and silicon
What is the composition on earths crust?
The Crust is in solid form of matter. It is the earth's hard outer shell which is composed of silicon, aluminum, calcium, sodium and potassium.
What is the chemical composition of the Earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is formed mainly from the elements aluminum, silicon and oxygen in the form of silicates & aluminum oxides and occurring as silicate rocks.Silicate minerals are abundant in all three rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) comprising the crust, but the crust is composed mainly of silicate rich igneous rock. The continental crust is composed of the lighter 'felsic' igneous rock (granitic in nature), higher in aluminum, sodium, and potassium; the oceanic crust is composed of the heavier, darker, 'mafic' igneous rock (largely basalt) which is higher in iron and magnesium than the continental crust.Crust composition: Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, in that order.Overall composition of the entire Earth: Iron, Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, in that order.Magnesium and Iron

What is the layer of the moon composed of silica magnesium and iron?
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.
