What are the people called for the study of the Earth's crust?
Geologists study the Earth's crust. They examine its composition, structure, and history to better understand processes like plate tectonics and geological formations.
What period came after the Cambrian period?
The Ordovician period came after the Cambrian period.
The Ordovician period follows the extinction at the end of which period?
The Ordovician period follows the extinction at the end of the Cambrian period.
Which layer of earth is composed mostly of liquid water and different types of rock crystals such as quartz?
The layer of Earth that is composed mostly of liquid water and various types of rock crystals such as quartz is the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of Earth and is divided into the continental crust (land) and the oceanic crust (under the oceans). It is where we find a diverse range of minerals and rock formations.
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.
What were the Ordovician mammals?
No mammals existed in the Ordovician

What is the dominant plant of the Ordovician period?
Algae was the dominant plant of the Ordovician. There were little to no other plants (other then algae) during the Ordovician. In the Ordovician, the common types of algae were Stromatolites (Blue green algae), and Tetradium (Red algae).
What are the people called for the study of the Earth's crust?

What period came after the Cambrian period?
The Ordovician period came after the Cambrian period.
What came after the Ordovician period?
The Silurian period followed the Ordovician period.
Where is the thickest crust found below what?
The thickest crust is found below continents, particularly in mountainous regions like the Himalayas or the Andes. Continental crust is generally thicker and less dense than oceanic crust due to the accumulation of sediments and the presence of older rock formations.
When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
What is deep oceans trenches?
a deep-ocean trench is a portion of the earth crust

How long did ordovician last?
The Ordovician lasted for 47 million years from 490 to 443 Million Years Ago.
