Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
How did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
Which statement correctly describes the density of Earth's mantle compared to the density of Earths core?
The mantle is less dense than the core but more dense than the crust.
What layers of the earth in order increase by density?
mantle crust ocean outer core
Why is oceanic crust always subducted underneath the continental crust?
Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.
Which has the lowest density and the crust mantle and the core?
The crust
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?

What are earths compositional layers in order of increasing density?
Crust, mantle, and then core.!(:
Which of the following crust mantle innercore and outercore has the greatest density?
inner core
How did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
Which statement correctly describes the density of Earth's mantle compared to the density of Earths core?
The mantle is less dense than the core but more dense than the crust.
What layers of the earth in order increase by density?
mantle crust ocean outer core
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Why is oceanic crust always subducted underneath the continental crust?
Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.
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 layer of the earth is composed of material of the highest density?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
