What else can I help you with?
What sphere of earth is made of all the rock above and below earths surface?
Geosphere
Is the earths crust a solid piece of rock?
No, it is made of rock but it is made up of many plates that move around the place cause earthquakes. The crust is rock but it is not solid all the way around. The plates are called tectonic plates and if you search "tectonic plates of the world" it should tell you where they are and what they are made up of.
Are all metals in the earths crust?
No, not all metals are found in the Earth's crust. While the Earth's crust contains a wide variety of metals, some metals are very rare and are not commonly found in geological formations. Additionally, some metals are found in concentrations that are too low to be economically viable for extraction.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Which formation occurs when magma pushes all the way through the exterior of the earths crust?
volcanic mountain
Are there any gases in the earths crust?
All of the atmospheric gases can be found trapped in magma and solidified rock.
How are intrusive and extrusive rock different?
Intrusive Rocks are found underneath Earths crust, while Extrusive rocks are found above Earths crust.
What is the mantle and crust made up of?
Nearly all of the mantle and crust are made up of rock, and in the case of the mantle, a small percentage of magma (melted rock).
The earths crust is made of?
The Earth's crust is made up of a variety of materials, including mostly solid rocks such as granite, basalt, and sandstone. It also contains minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. The crust is divided into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle underneath.

What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
What is the iron percentage in the earths crust?
In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.
What makes up the earths crust?
toothpaste and big red soda and blode

There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Which layer of earth are made mostly of rocks?
Hard rocks form the outer layer of the Earth (the lithosphere) which includes the crust and upper mantle. Rocks of the remaining mantle are in a plastic state, able to move, bend and deform without breaking.
