Why is Earth's crust least dense?
We know that the more force we will aplly to any object, the greater will be its density. i.e., F is directly proportional to density. On the other hand, according to universal law of force of gravitation, F=GMm/r^2. This means that F is inversely proportional to r^2. By this we can say that D is inversely proportional to r^2. On the surface r is greater than on the core or mantle. Since r is always positive, r^2 will be greatest at crust. So, the more the radius the less the density. Thus we can conclude that density is least at crust.
How does tension change the shape of earths crust?
by pulling it making it thinner in the middle
If a fluid is cold will it be more dense than when it warm?
Yes, it would.
Most common element on earth after oxygen?
depends if you're talking about in the earths crust, in water or in the human boby. In us, carbon comes second. In the water, hydrogen. In the atmosphere ther is actually way more nitrogen than there is oxygen.
Statement correctly describes how the density and temperature of air are related?
Lower temperature air is more dense.
Which portion of earths crust is more dense. oceanic or continental?
Oceanic
What portion of the earths crust is more dense oceanic or contenintal?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. Oceanic crust has a density of about 3 g/cm^3, while continental crust has a lower density of about 2.7 g/cm^3.
Why is water located above the earths crust but below the air?
Because it is less dense than the material that makes up the earth's crust, but more dense than the material that makes up the air.
What layer of the crust is the most dense?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
What is the thinnest part of earths interior?
The Earth's crust is the thinnest part of Earth's interior, ranging from about 5-70 kilometers (3-44 miles) in thickness. It is divided into two types: continental crust, thicker and less dense, and oceanic crust, thinner and more dense.
What is difference of the continental crust and the oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker but less dense, and oceanic crust is thinner but more dense, making it heavier.
The thinner but more dense crust of the earth?
The thinner but more dense crust of the Earth is found beneath ocean basins and is known as oceanic crust. It is made up of dense basalt rock and is thinner than the continental crust. This crust is constantly being formed and destroyed through the process of seafloor spreading and subduction, respectively.
Is the continental crust more dense than the oceanic crust?
Oceanic crust is thinner (about 6-8 km in total) and more dense. Continental crust is about 30-50 km thick.
What are the two types of lithoperic crust?
The two types of lithospheric crust are continental crust, which is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust, and oceanic crust, which is thinner and more dense than continental crust.
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.
What are 2 kinds of crust?
crust on a pizza (thin & thick) or the earth's crust
Is the crust dense or less dense?
The specific gravity, on average, of continental crust is 2.7. For oceanic crust, it's 2.9.
