Rock - Earth is a rocky planet.
In terms of chemical elements however, it is composed mostly of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), magnesium (13.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1.8%), calcium (1.5%), and aluminum (1.4%); with the remaining 1.2% consisting of trace amounts of other elements.
No. It is a terrestrial planet like the other inner planets, meaning it is mostly rocky.
The inner core is solid and composed mostly of iron.
The Earth's core is composed primarily of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid, while the inner core is solid due to high pressure. This composition is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.
The largest layer of Earth's surface that is composed mostly of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.
No. Earth is mostly composed of the hydrosphere (water) with 3/4 of the earth's surface. While lithosphere has 1/4 of earth's surface.
The bulk of the Earth is composed of rock.
The bulk of the Earth is composed of rock.
Living Organisms
No. Earth is composed of slolid minerals. Earth's atmosphere is mostly made up of two gasses: nitrogen and oxygen.
An alloy of solid nickel and iron, mostly.

The Earth's crust is made mostly of silicate minerals. Silicate minerals are the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust and are composed of silicon and oxygen atoms.
