What layer of the earth contains rocks minerals and soil?
the mantle and crust
Rocks in the Earth's mantle contain a higher percentage of what than do rocks in the Earth's crust?
Ultramafic minerals, iron, magnesium.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
What is the mantle filled with?
The Earths mantle is filled with ferromagnesian rocks with minerals such as Olivine and Pyroxene.
Why do rocks melt in the upper mantle?
Because the Upper Mantle has a molten layer that has MAGMA so thats why the rocks melt.
What layer of the earth contains rocks minerals and soil?
the mantle and crust
Moon rocks resemble rocks from what layer of the earth?
mantle
Is an outer layer a crust?
The outer layer of the earth is the crust. Earth has three layers. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is made of semi-solid magma, solid rocks and minerals.

What are the characteristics of earths crust mantle core?
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
What is the layer of heavy rocks beneath the Earth's crust?
The upper mantle.
Rocks in the Earth's mantle contain a higher percentage of what than do rocks in the Earth's crust?
Ultramafic minerals, iron, magnesium.
What is the layer of rock under the surface of the earth is called?
The lithosphere is the hard, brittle outer layer of the Earth, comprised of the crust and uppermost mantle.
What is the layer of heavy rocks beneath the earth's crust called?
The upper mantle.
What is the middle layer of the earth and what is it made out of?
The Earth's mantle is a rocky layer between the crust and the core, so it's made of of solid material, not liquid. It's comprised of minerals that contain mostly silicon, oxygen and magnesium. (From "The Cosmic Perspective - Sixth Edition").
