List of four components that make up earth?
The four main components that make up Earth are the lithosphere (crust and upper mantle), atmosphere (gases surrounding Earth), hydrosphere (all the water on Earth), and biosphere (all living organisms).
What elements are found in the lithosphere?
Earth's lithosphere is predominantly composed of the following elements: Oxygen (46.6 %), Silicon (27.7 %), Aluminium (8.13 %), Iron (5.0 %), Calcium (3.6 %), Sodium (2.8 %), Potassium (2.5 %), Magnesium (2.1 %).
What two continents make up Eurasia?
Europe and Asia
What two countries make up hispanolia?
Haiti and the Dominican Republic are the two countries that make up the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean.
How many continents make up the Americas?
There are two continents that make up the Americas: North America and South America.
What are two parts of the lithosphere?
The two parts of the lithosphere is the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Whoever wrote core and mantle....not even close. Just look up a interior earth image in Google and you'll see where the lithosphere is.
What two layers make up the lithospere?
The two layers of the lithosphere is made up of the oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust and the ocean basins. The continental lithosphere is associated with the continental crust.
What is the make up of the biosphere?
Atmosphere Lithosphere Hydrosphere
The crust and uppermost mantle make up the rigid outer layer of earth called the?
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
What two compounds make up the lithosphere?
Rock and look the other one up at ask.com or another recourse
What layers make up the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is a combination of the crust and the brittle uppermost mantle.
What two types of rocks make up the lithosphere?
There are actually three - metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
What rocks make up pieces of the lithosphere?
Any rocks that looks like lithosphere!
The crust and upper mantle are called the?
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
What layer do tectonic plates make up?
The lithosphere.
What do the crust and upper layer of the mantle make up?
The crust and the hard uppermost mantle make up the lithosphere, which is the solid, rocky layer covering the entire surface of the planet and reacts to stresses as a brittle solid. The lithosphere ranges in thickness from 50 - 200 kmA and is fragmented into tectonic plates with boundaries where plates collide, diverge, or grind past each other.A Wilson, M.
