They are both layers of the Earth comprised of rock....other than that, there are no similarities.
What else can I help you with?
What are some of the differences and similarities between the mantle crust and the core?
Crust- The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth and is from 0-50 km deep. The crust is not one whole rather it’s separated into different pieces called the plates. The earth’s crust is also the lightest layer, it’s rocky and rigid. Mantle- The mantle of the Earth is the largest and the layer that takes up most of the space-2900 km deep. The mantle is mostly made up of magma and molten rocks because of the heat given off by the core. Core- The core is the hottest, second biggest and inner most layer of the earth. It mainly consists of solid iron and nickel. The heat in the core is what causes the mantle to be in fluid form. The core is really hot heating up from 3500 C to more than 6000 C Compare- The similarities of the three types of layers are- The three layers help to support the structure of the Earth. The mantle and the core are really hot and the two biggest layers. Both the Mantle and crust are solid. Contrast- The difference is that the crust of the earth is made out of soil and rocks while the mantle consists of lava and molten rocks, finally the core is made up of solid iron and nickel. All the layers are made up of different natural materials.
What are similarities between earth and the other planets?
The are many They are all planets.Similarities between Earth and other planets.They all orbit the sun.They have an core, outer core, mantle, lithosphere, crust, orbits around stars, made of matter.They are all in our solar system.
What are some similarities between volcanic and uplifted mountains?
a volcanic mountain is a cone shaped mountain formed when molten rocks erupts from a hole in the earths crust.
What is one large piece of the lithosphere?
its made of mantle and crust
Which term refers to sections of earth's crust and part of the upper mantle?
The lithosphere.
The distance between the crust and the mantle?
15 kilo meters is the distance between the crust and the mantle
What is the meaning of the upper mantle?
a mantle is something between the crust
What is the moho barrier for?
It is between the Crust and the upper mantle
Is the boundary between the crust and upper mantle?
The boundary between the crust and upper mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It represents the change in seismic wave velocity and composition between the rigid outer layer (crust) and the more ductile layer beneath (mantle).
What is between the mantle and the soil layer?
the crust
What is between the crust and the core of the earth?
The mantle.
What layer is between the crust and the core?
The mantle.
Give two similarities and one difference between the lithosphere and the crust?
Similarities: Both the lithosphere and the crust are solid and rigid layers of the Earth's structure. They are also both part of the outermost shell of the Earth. Difference: The lithosphere includes the crust and upper part of the mantle, while the crust is only the outermost layer of the Earth.
How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
The mantle is located directly beneath the Earth's crust and is approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) thick. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho.
What are the zone between core and crust?
The zone between the core and crust of the Earth is the mantle. It is a layer of solid rock that extends about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below the Earth's surface. The mantle is made up of silicate minerals and is responsible for convection currents that drive plate tectonics.
What does moho stand for?
"moho" is the plate boundary between earth's crust and the mantle.
What is isostatic equilibrium?
Isostatic equilibrium is the balance between Earth's crust and the layer of mantle it floats on. The denser the crust is, the more it sinks into the mantle. Equilibrium is achieved when the crust floats at a certain level in the mantle.
