What is the layer of the earth right below the crust?
The layer of the Earth right below the crust is called the mantle. The mantle is more dense than the crust and is composed of hot, solid rock that flows slowly over long periods of time. It plays a crucial role in the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
Where is the thickest crust found below what?
The thickest crust is found below continents, particularly in mountainous regions like the Himalayas or the Andes. Continental crust is generally thicker and less dense than oceanic crust due to the accumulation of sediments and the presence of older rock formations.
What is the depth below the surface in cm for the crust?
On the Earth's surface, the depth is between 8-64 kilometers.
What layer of the earth is below the crust?
The interior of the Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a highly viscous layer between the crust and the outer core. As such, the core (split into the solid inner and liquid outer layers) is below the mantle.
Is all oceanic crust below sea level?
No. The Hawaiian Island Chain, for instance, sits on top of oceanic crust.
Is most water found in deep below the crust?
is most water found in deep below the crust
Ocean crust dives below continental crust because?
Ocean crust is denser
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Is the mantle below or beside the crust?
The Earth's mantle is below the crust. The layers of the Earth form concentric spheres. Below the mantle is the core.
Why does ocean crust dive below continental crust?
The ocean crust dives below the continental crust due to a collision. This collision involves the two types of crust and since the oceanic crust is denser, it sinks to the bottom while the less dense continental crust rises to the top.
Does the earths crust extend deeper below the continents or below the ocean basins?
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
