What is the layer below the atmosphere?
Troposphere it is. It is the closest to the earth's surface.
Where are you if you are at the Gutenberg Discontinuity?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity, is the boundary, as detected by changes in seismic waves, between the Earth's lower mantle and the outer core about 1800 miles below the surface. It is also called the core-mantle boundary.
Are the tempertrues below the water on the celsius scale positive or negative numbers?
On the Cecilius scale water freezes at 0 degrees at STP. Therefore below the surface of a boy of WATER on Earth, the temperatures will always be positive.
What material is most likely to be found 20 kilometers below sea level at the continental mountain location?
Granite
What is the hydrosphere and where is it located?
The hydrosphere is the liquid layer of the planet Earth, consisting primarily of the oceans. It covers most of the Earth. Above it is the atmosphere, and below it is the lithosphere which is a layer of rock. Some of the lithosphere is exposed, since water does not cover the entire surface. The exposed portion is known as dry land.
Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No. Granite forms below the surface.
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
Is granite a stone?

Is granite below or above the surface?
Granite forms below the surface, but it can be found at the surface where it has been exposed by erosion or uplift.
Is granite formed from organisms?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling, solidification, and crystalization of magma below the earth's crust/surface.
What rock have been modified by heat pressure and chemical process usually while buried deep below earth surface?
granite
When large masses of magma solidify far below earth's surface what type of rocks form?
one of the most common is granite. This kind of rock is called intrusive rock because it was formed under the surface, and it has large crystals.
Why are minerals that form below Earth's surface unstable at Earth's surface?
because of high tempreture
Why is it warmer 1 mile below Earth's surface?
Because the centre of the Earth has a molten core.
Why is granite instrusive?
an granit rock formed when magma remains in pockets below the surface
What was the process that formed Elberton granite?
Felsic. Slow to cool and deep below the surface.
