What does the Earth's crust do?
It does nothing, but separates Mantle from atmosphere!
Which boundary separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle?
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.
What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?
The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
Match the layers with its characteristic?
Crust- ranged from 6km to70km thick . mantle- convection here leads to earthquakes. Core -has a liquid and soild layer Moho barrier- separates the crust and mantle. APEX
What does the Earth's crust do?

Does a crust separate the crust and the mantle?
No, instead of another crust, the sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovičić discontinuity separates the crust from the iron rich mantle.
Which boundary separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle?
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.
What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?
The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
A distance of about 1,800 miles [2,896.8 kilometers] separates the earth's mantle from the earth's crust.
What is the mantle of?
It is composed of very hot rock that is "plastic" (slowly moving and deforming). It is not as liquid as the outer core, or the magma that separates the crust from the mantle.
Match the layers with its characteristic?
Crust- ranged from 6km to70km thick . mantle- convection here leads to earthquakes. Core -has a liquid and soild layer Moho barrier- separates the crust and mantle. APEX
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Which layer is with its characteristic?
answer Mantle: Convection here leads to earthquakes Crust: Ranges from 6 km to 70 km thick Core: Has a liquid and solid layer Moho Barrier: Separates the crust and mantle The core has a liquid layer and a solid layer. The mantle has convection cells that lead to earthquakes. The Moho Barrier separates the mantle and the crust. The crust is the thinnest layer, ranging from about 6 km to 70 km in thickness
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
