What is the order of earths layers from most dense to less dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
What are two kind of crust that a tectonic plate may contain?
Tectonic plates can have either continental crust, which is thicker and less dense, or oceanic crust, which is thinner and more dense. The type of crust influences the movement and behavior of the tectonic plates at plate boundaries.
Which type of crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense?
Oceanic crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense than continental crust. It is also younger and thinner compared to continental crust.
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.
What layer of the crust is the most dense?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
What is the densest type of crust?
No. The crust is the least dense of Earth's layers. The inner core is the densest player.
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
What is the order of earths layers from most dense to less dense?
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
What are the layers of the earth from least dense to most dense?
inner core outter core mantle and crust
What rock type is most abundant in the crust of the ocean floors?
The most abundant rock type in the ocean floor crust is basalt. This volcanic rock forms from the rapid cooling of lava at mid-ocean ridges and is a key component of oceanic crust. Basalt is typically dense and rich in iron and magnesium, distinguishing it from the continental crust, which is primarily composed of lighter granitic rocks.
What is the most dense layer of the earth's crust?
The most dense layer of the Earth's crust is the inner core. It is composed mostly of solid iron and nickel, with an average density of about 13 grams per cubic centimeter.
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.
Is the Mantle has most dense or least dense layer of the earth?
It is neither. The densest layer is the inner core. The least dense layer is the crust.
What are two kind of crust that a tectonic plate may contain?
Tectonic plates can have either continental crust, which is thicker and less dense, or oceanic crust, which is thinner and more dense. The type of crust influences the movement and behavior of the tectonic plates at plate boundaries.

Oceanic crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense than continental crust. It is also younger and thinner compared to continental crust.
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.
