What else can I help you with?
Outer most layer of earth?
The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust or lithosphere.
What is one large piece of the lithosphere?
its made of mantle and crust
How did rocks get on earth?
they were and aree forced through earths crust in the form of lava.
What is the study of the large scale processes affecting the structure oif the earths crust?
geology
What are the similarities between the mantle and the crust?
They are both layers of the Earth comprised of rock....other than that, there are no similarities.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What is sections of the earths crust called?
what what
How does isostasy impact the surface of the earth?
Isostacy refers to an equilibrium level maintained by the earths crust on top of the mantle. The theory holds that the weight of the earths crust will displace a certain amount of the underlying mantle, and that an equilibrium is reached whereby the mass of the displaced crust and the mass of the displaced mantle are equal, thus holding that part of the crust at a certain height.
Theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle are broken into sections which move around on a spcial layer of th emantle?
plate tectonics
Does the mantle support the Earths crust?
yes it does.
What is the large piece of the earths crust?
the mantle
What are the sections of the earths crust that float on the melted section of the mantle?
The sections of the Earth's crust that float on the partially melted section of the mantle are known as tectonic plates. These plates consist of both continental and oceanic crust and are rigid sections that move slowly over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Their interactions can lead to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
Plates are large sections of Earths what?
The crust
What are the sections of earth's are the plates in?
earths crust
What is the earth's crust the thickest?
the area of of earths crust that is the thickest is the mantle.
What is the area of the Earth's crust?
the area of of earths crust that is the thickest is the mantle.
