Is the crust earth's only solid layer true or false?

True or false: the crust includes BOTH dry land and the bottoms of the oceans?


True or false The lithosphere includes all of the core and part of the mantle?

False. The lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle. The core is separate and located beneath the mantle.


Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?

No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.


Much of the upper mantle thought to be made of granite true or false?

False. The upper mantle is believed to be composed primarily of peridotite.


Is the mantle earth's outer layer?

Yes the mantle is the layer bellow the crust that is heavier and denser. The mantle is much wider in comparison to the crust but the layer bellow it is wider and many miles deeper. I hope this answered you question.


True are false The crust is very thick and heavy?

False, the crust is actually a lot less dense than the materials below the crust, the mantle and the core, which contains the heavier elements of the earth's composition. The crust is in fact very thin in comparision to the size of the earth. The crust is only the first 40 km of under the surface, while to get to the core it is 6378km. The crust is about .62% of the earth's thickness, its almost like imagining earth as an orange and the crst being the wax covering the orange.


The layer immediately beneath the Moho is the core?

The core is actually located beneath the Earth's mantle. The layer immediately beneath the Moho is the Earth's mantle, which is a region of hot, flowing rock that lies between the crust and the outer core.


Most of the earth's heat is stored in earth's mantle true or false?

True. The majority of Earth's heat is stored in the mantle, which is the layer of Earth located between the crust and the core. This heat is generated by the decay of radioactive elements and leftover heat from the planet's formation.


True or false magnetic stripes on the ocean floor are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?

True. Magnetic stripes on the ocean floor are created by alternating bands of magnetic polarities in the oceanic crust. These stripes are evidence of seafloor spreading where new crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, pushing older crust away. Subduction zones are where older crust sinks back into the mantle.


Weather is the current state of the lithosphere true or false?

False. Weather is the current state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time, not the lithosphere. The lithosphere refers to the solid outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.


TRUE or FALSE The mantle is the third layer of the earth and takes up about 67 percent of the earth's total volume?

FalseThe Mantle is the Earth's 2nd layer. It goes in the order of the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer Core and then the Inner Core.If you follow this answer, you will get it wrong on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. The Answer given is Mantle.


What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?

No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
