"Because of the plates."

The above answer is terribly wrong. Density differences in elemental materials caused differentiation of the Earth's crust early in its existence. Heavier material (iron-nickel-rich) "sank" into the interior of the earth, while lighter silicia-rich materials "floated" to the exterior surface, creating the crust.

What are the layers of rock that indicate earths eras?

The layers of rock that indicate Earth's eras are divided into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock layers. By studying the rock layers and the fossils contained within them, scientists can determine the different eras of Earth's history, such as the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Each era is characterized by distinct types of fossils and geological features preserved in the rock layers.


How do scientist know the inside of the earth is made of layers?

each layer in earth has diffrent material that is cuse diffrent propertis. natural or man made Wave when it come from inside of the earth show difftent propertis .this is main reason of layering earth .


What are the reason that scientists had to work together to develop the geologic column?

Scientists had to work together to develop the geologic column because it required studying rock layers from different locations around the world to create a comprehensive timeline of Earth's history. The column relies on comparing and correlating fossil assemblages and rock types to establish a consistent sequence of geological events. Collaboration among scientists was essential to ensure accuracy and consistency in interpreting the data collected from various regions.


The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of earth's layers?

You are correct! This is the reason why many scientists believe that the moon was once long ago part of the earth, that an asteroid possibly dislodged, or the roation of the earth spun off a piece of the planet.


Which geologic principle is the reason rock layers typically form parallel to each other?

The principle of original horizontality explains why rock layers typically form parallel to each other. This principle states that sedimentary layers are originally deposited in horizontal layers due to gravity, and any significant tilt or folding usually occurs after deposition.

What do you think is the reason that scientist divided into two different sets of layers?

Because scientists are so picky they needed to be seperated.


What is the reason you categorize the atmosphere into different layers?
