What are the features of earths crust mantle and core?

Answer 1

1. the continental crust is mostly granitic type rock, the oceanic crust is mostly basaltic rock, both include a variety of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks; it is in the solid state of matter
2. the mantle is basaltic rock; it is in the solid state of matter but is plastic and flows slowly
3. the core is a metal alloy composed mostly of nickel and iron; the outer core is in the liquid state of matter, the inner core is in the solid state of matter

Answer 2

The core of the Earth is made of a mixture of nickel and iron; the inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid. These metals sank to the core because they are of denser material than the surrounding mantle, which is composed mainly of mafic or ultramafic silicate minerals that are solid with a small portion of molten material which allow them to slowly move and transfer heat to the exterior of the planet. The very thin crust is composed of solid and brittle igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.

Answer 3

Earth's crust is the outermost layer, composed of solid rock that includes the continents and ocean floors. The mantle lies beneath the crust and is made up of solid but flowing rock known as magma. The core is the innermost layer, consisting of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, primarily made of iron and nickel.

Answer 4

the crust is dirt, the mantle is lava and the core is liquid and or solid metal

Answer 5

They are the three layers of the earth.
