What is the most geologically active of the terrestrial planets and why?
Earth. Why is 1) the moon, 2) rotation rate, 3) liquid core, 4) thin crust.
Explain why geologists say that all rock was originally igneous rock?
The oceanic plates of the crust are almost entirely basalt, an igneous rock. The continental crust in underlain by mostly granites, also igneous.
Are sedimentary rock the most abundant in the world?
No. Over 75% of earths surface is covered with these rocks, but it is only a thin layer. Actually, only 5% of earth's inner crust is made up of it.
Is Africa shaped like a boot?
Africa, like the other continents, is the product of continental drift. At an earlier period in the Earth's history, there was only one continent, known as Pangaea, and this broke up and formed the continents as we know them today, as a result of the force exerted on the crust by currents in the underlying magma of the mantle. The whole process is essentially random. The shape of Africa is an accident.
In what areas is the outermost layer of the earth the thinnest?
The earth's crust is the thinnest layer.the crust wich is the outermost layer on the earth on which we live
Which among is underlain by thin crust?
Oceanic crust is typically thinner than continental crust.
What place is underlain by thin crust?
Continental rifts, such as the East African Rift Zone, are often underlain by thin crust. This thinning of the crust is due to tectonic forces that are pulling the continent apart, causing the crust to stretch and thin in these regions.
What is the thin solid outermost layer above the mantle?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
Are thick crust and thin crust pizza bases?
No. The dough is the base. Thick and thin are styles.yes
What do you call the thin and thick part of the crust?
The thin part of the crust is called ocean basins. The thick part of the crust is called continents.
Which layer of earth is thin rigid rock layer?
it is the crust because the crust is thin and rigid with rock
What is the name of the thin rocky layer on the surface of earth?
The crust, which is subdivided into continental crust and oceanic crust.
Earths thin rocky outer layer is its .?
crust
What sea is shallow because it is underlain by continental crust?
This is the Continental Shelf - a marine-eroded platform submerged or exposed at any given time to a depth set by the state of the Earth's ice-cover at the time. (We are presently in an Ice Age interglacial.)
What is the difference between thin crust and regular crust pizza and which one does the average pizza place serve?
well it explains itself thin crust is when they thin out the bread dough and regular is more thicker crust at restaurants they usually serve regular
Thin rocky layer of the Earth?
The thin rocky layer of the Earth is known as the Earth's crust. It is composed of various minerals and rocks and is divided into oceanic and continental crust. The Earth's crust is relatively thin compared to the other layers of the Earth, such as the mantle and the core.
What do you call the thin outer layer of the earth's surface?
The Crust
