What is the outer layer out the earth made of?

Answer 1

The outer layer, or crust, consists of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock.

Answer 2

The outer layer of the Earth is called the crust, which is primarily composed of solid rocks and minerals. The crust is relatively thin compared to the other layers of the Earth, with an average thickness of about 5-70 kilometers beneath the continents and 5-10 kilometers beneath the ocean floor.

Answer 3

The core of the Earth is made of a mixture of nickel and iron; the inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid. These metals sank to the core because they are of denser material than the surrounding mantle, which is composed mainly of ultramafic silicate minerals that are solid which can flow due to the heat, that allow them to slowly move and transfer heat to the exterior of the planet. The very thin crust is composed of solid and brittle igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock.

Answer 4

the outer layer of earth (the crust) is made up of rocks and minerals.

Answer 5

The rocks of the Earth are principally silica and metal-silicates, over an iron - nickel Core.

Answer 6

You mean the crust? It's made of bedrock and topsoil.

Answer 7

there are 4 layers crust- dirt, mantel- hot rock, outer core- liquid metal, inner core- solid metal.

Answer 8

There are actually four. The crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Answer 9

The inner core is the innermost layer of the earth.

Answer 10

it is mostly made of rock and in the mantle its liquid rock
