What else can I help you with?
Where is the crust located in the earths layers?
The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, and it is the thinnest layer compared to the mantle and core. It is divided into oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser, and continental crust, which is thicker and less dense.
How does the density of the Earths core compare to the other layers of the Earth?
The density of the Earth's core is higher than the other layers of the Earth. The outer core is less dense than the inner core, which is the densest part of the Earth. This is due to the high concentration of heavy elements like iron and nickel in the core.
What is less dense water basalt iron or granite?
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)
What is the moho in the earths layers?
The Moho, short for Mohorovičić discontinuity, is a boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It marks a significant change in seismic wave velocities, indicating the transition from the less dense, rigid crust to the more dense, flowing mantle beneath.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
What is the order of earths layers from less dense to most dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
What effects the layering of earths atmosphere?
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
How did rock affect the formation of earths layers?
As the earth formed, the heavier, more dense elements sunk toward the center, while the lighter, less dense ones stayed near the surface. The result was layers of rocks of similar density.
How is ocean stratified by density?
The ocean is stratified with denser layers below less dense layers.
Is earths atmosphere much thinner and less dense than mercury's?
No
What is the least dense crust outer core mantle or the inner core?
The crust is the least dense. The inner core is the most dense. So from the middle outwards the layers get less and less dense
In a graduated cylinder containing several different layers where is the least dense layer found?
The least dense layer will be found on top of the other layers, as less dense materials tend to float on top of denser materials.
Where is the crust located in the earths layers?
The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, and it is the thinnest layer compared to the mantle and core. It is divided into oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser, and continental crust, which is thicker and less dense.
Why are salt layers not formed at the bottom of the sea?
because it is less dense than the sea water
Would it be easier for a plane to fly higher in an atmosphere less dense than Earths?
i No, ;it would be easier in denser air. Less dense air gives nothing for the wings of the plane to use to propel itself upwards. Less dense air would make the plane crash.
Does the order in which you add liquids affects the order of the layers formed by those liquids?
No, it doesn't matter. If you put water and oil in a cup, the oil will always be on top of the water, no matter the order that you put them in. This is because oil is less dense then water:)
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
