What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
True or false the crust and mantle are solids the inner crust is thoght to be solid?
True, both the crust and mantle are composed of solid rock. The innermost part of the crust is also believed to be solid, although it may experience some plastic deformation under extreme pressures and temperatures.
Where is the crust the thickest on plate?
The crust is thickest on oceanic plates where the crust is typically around 5-10 km thick under the oceans. In contrast, continental crust is generally thicker, around 30-50 km thick, with some mountain ranges having crust that can be even thicker.
Are vitamins natural substances from earths crust?
i don't know .it could be ,or maybe no
What elements are there that are also minerals?
Some examples of elements that are also minerals include gold, silver, copper, sulfur, and diamond. These elements naturally occur in the Earth's crust in solid form and meet the criteria to be classified as minerals.
Could the amount of some elements in earths crust increase?
Yes. That is what causes some of the Earths core heat. Elements being formed by radioactive decay. Look at the Earths' makeup and see that the percentages of elements follows the periodic chart by decay.
The short periods contain some of the most common elements found in?
earths crust , oceans and atmosphere

What are some uses for potassium?
its found in the earths crust.
Are some mountains get higher by earth crust?
No ther are not mountains that get higher by the earths crust
Are native elements buried deep within earths interior?
Native elements, such as gold, silver, and copper, can be found in their pure metallic forms within the Earth's crust, but they are not typically found deep within the Earth's interior. Instead, the Earth's interior consists mainly of silicate and metallic minerals in a solid or molten state. While some native elements may be transported to deeper layers during geological processes, they are more commonly concentrated near the surface, where they can be more easily extracted.

What large quantities is found in Earths crust?
Some of the most abundant elements found in Earth's crust include oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron. These elements make up a significant portion of the minerals and rocks that form the Earth's outermost layer.
Is it true that the elements found in magma are quite different from those found in earths crust?
Yes, the elements found in magma and the Earth's crust can be different due to the melting and differentiation processes that occur in the Earth's interior. While both can contain common elements, the magma tends to have higher concentrations of elements that preferentially partition into the melt during melting processes, leading to some differences in composition.
How much of the earths surface is covered by india?
India is not covering some of the earth's crust but part of the earth's crust is part of India
Do some part of the earths crust move up 12 cm per year?
no
What are some words to do with earths layers?
Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust
