How much iron approximately is there on earth?
It is estimated that the Earth's core is composed mainly of iron and nickel, with iron making up about 35% of the Earth's mass. This would equate to roughly 5.6 x 10^22 kilograms of iron on Earth.
Why do scientists think Earth's core contains iron?
Samples of Earth's crust contain less iron than found in meteorites, and iron is a comparatively heavy element that would have sunk into the planet when it was being formed.
Why do scientist think earth's core contains iron?
Scientists believe Earth's core contains iron because of its density and magnetic properties. Iron is a dense element, which is consistent with the high density of Earth's core. Additionally, observations of Earth's magnetic field suggest the presence of iron in the core.
How much iron is in the Earth's core?
It is estimated that the Earth's core is composed mostly of iron (about 85% iron by weight), along with some nickel and lighter elements. However, the exact amount of iron in the Earth's core is difficult to measure precisely due to the extreme conditions at the core and the limited direct access for study.
How much iron is in the earths crust?
Good question! I've done much research on this for my Physical Science class. But the most information I've found and that I can give you is that iron is the predominant metal/element of Earth's core. Iron (and Nickel) mainly take over the Earth's inner and outer cores. But most of the research I have done tells me the Earth is made of 5% iron. You're Welcome :D <3, Cheyenne

How much of iron ore exist on earth?
500 trillion tons.
Where did the ancients get their iron?
ancient cultures had to mine caves and holes to find iron like we do today. However, they did not have the tools we have today and/or the tech so it took them much, much longer to locate iron and get it out of the earth. :-)

What sphere is made up of liquid iron outside and solid iron inside?
The Earth has an iron core. At the outer core it is so hot that the iron is liquid. At the inner core it is hotter still, but under so much pressure it forces the iron to solidify. Hence: the Earth's core.
Which is not a non-renewable resource lumber iron chicken cotton?
Of these, iron in a non-renewable resource. You cannot grow more iron if you run out. There is only as much iron as the earth has now, there will be no more.
Why do scientist think earth core cotain irion?
the crust does not contain much iron
How much iron ore is there?
Making up 5 percent of Earth's crust, iron is the fourth most abundant rock-forming element.

Is the iron is formed under Earth's crust?
No. the element iron requires the heat and pressure of a sun like ours to be able to form iron atoms. But our Sun did not produce the iron we have. The iron we have on Earth was made in a larger star that went nova.This iron was amongst the debris field from which coalesced the Earth.In early times, when oxygen levels were quite low, it is believed that much of the iron would have been dissolved in the oceans and they would have been rather green. After the algae invented photosynthesis, this increased the O2 content of the atmosphere, and the iron was precipitated out as the Banded Iron Deposits, which form much of the important iron deposits worked today.
