Where Geographically can Calcium be found on earth?
Calcium can be found geographically all over the Earth's crust, as it is one of the most abundant elements. It is present in rocks, minerals, and soil. In particular, calcium is found in limestone, gypsum, and fluorite.
What makes up the continental crust?
The continental crust is made up of mainly granite and other high-silica rocks. It is less dense than oceanic crust and thicker, ranging from 20 to 70 kilometers in depth. The continental crust also contains various minerals and elements such as aluminum, potassium, and silicon.
Is the earths crust less than one percent of earths mass?
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
How is the earth's crust different from the mantle in three ways?
The mantle is under the earth crust and is made of mostly peridotite, which is a denser rock than that of the igneus, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks found in the crust. The crust ranges in temperature from 200 - 400 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle however ranges in temperature from 500 - 900 degrees Celsius the furthur towards the earths core one goes. The mantle has two layers and upper layer and a lower layer; whereas the crust has only one layer.
What is one large piece of the lithosphere?
its made of mantle and crust
What is one fact about Earths crust?

What is a volcano fault?
Faults are made up of fractures in the earths crust. One side of the fault moves opposite of the other side.
How thick is the earths oceanic crust?
one and a half miles thick
What is not one of the eight common elements in earths continental crust?
Carbon
What is the percentage of the earths crust?
The percentage of Earth's crust is less than one percentage in terms of Earth's volume. The Earth's crust is actually a thin layer.
What element has no more the 30 grams in Earth's crust at any one time?
30 grams of Astatine can be found in the earths crust at any one time.
What are the different types of earthquakes?
I think there are three types of earthquakes one is the earths crust
Large section of earths crust that moves as one unit?
Plate
Is the earth's crust one piece?
The crust is not one single piece. It is broken up into different plates of different sizes and shapes. This is what allows them to move and thus plate tectonics occurs.
What is the mineral forms?
one of the common minerals that make up most of the rocks of the earths crust
What is a break in the earths crust along which blocks of cross slide related to one another?
It is a fault.
