ROCKS USED FROM THE EARTH'S CRUST

We get lots of different types of rock from the earth's crust, such as gems building material and ores. Ores such as lead gold and manganese are used to make coins. Gems, for instance diamonds, rubies and sapphires, can be carved and used in rings necklaces and earrings. Carbon fuels like coal peat and oil are flammable materials from the earth's crust. There are different types of rucks used from the earth's core for example brick, sandstone and limestone are used for building houses. Quartz is used for making clocks and chalk is used for writing.

We also get gravel and granite from the Earth's crust. Granite is used for countertops in kitchens, bathrooms, etc. We dig and mine gravel. Gravel is used for driveways and in some parking lots. It looks like little pieces of rock.

To model the lithosphere, you would typically use materials such as clay, cardboard, foam board, and paint to represent the layers of the Earth's crust. These materials can be shaped and colored to represent the different components of the lithosphere, such as the crust, mantle, and outer core.


How do you know What is inside the Earths core?

Scientists study seismic waves and magnetic fields to determine the composition and properties of Earth's core. They use data from earthquakes and magnetic measurements to infer that the inner core is solid iron and nickel, while the outer core is liquid iron-nickel alloy. Deep drilling and experimental simulations also provide insights into the Earth's core composition.
