Are the continents and ocean basins located in the asthenosphere?
No, the continents and ocean basins are located on the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere.
What layer of the earth can life exist?
Life can exist on the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer where conditions are suitable for life to thrive. This layer includes the continents and ocean floors where organisms can survive and thrive.
Which of earth's layers includes the land that makes up the continents and the land under the oceans?
The layer that includes the land making up the continents and the land under the oceans is the Earth's crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the continents, and oceanic crust, which underlies the ocean basins.
Continents and the ocean floor are part of earths solid rocky surface called?
crust
What percentage of the earths surface do the continents represent?
Continents cover about 29% of the Earth's surface area. The rest of the surface is predominantly ocean.
Which earths layer includes the land that that make up the continents and land under the ocean?
this is the crust which is the very thin layer which has land in the water
What is the definition for earth's crust?
the outer layer of earth ; includes continents,oceans and ocean floor
What layer of the earths make up these plates and what layer are are the continents sliding on?
The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt

Do the oceans contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer of fifty feet thick?
No, the oceans do not contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer 50 feet thick. The average salt content in the oceans is about 3.5%, and there is not enough salt to form a layer that thick on the continents.
Which of earth's layers includes the land that makes up the continents and the land under the oceans?
The layer that includes the land making up the continents and the land under the oceans is the Earth's crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the continents, and oceanic crust, which underlies the ocean basins.
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).
Does the ocean or the continents cover more of the earths surface?
The world is about 30% land and about 70% water
Continents and the ocean floor are part of earths solid rocky surface called?
crust
The layer of the earths crust that is not covered by ocean water is called what?
continental crust
What percentage of the earths surface do the continents represent?
Continents cover about 29% of the Earth's surface area. The rest of the surface is predominantly ocean.
