Geologists study the Earth's crust. They examine its composition, structure, and history to better understand processes like plate tectonics and geological formations.
The Ordovician period came after the Cambrian period.
The Ordovician period follows the extinction at the end of the Cambrian period.
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.
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.
No mammals existed in the Ordovician

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).

The Ordovician period came after the Cambrian period.
The Silurian period followed the Ordovician period.
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.

The Ordovician lasted for 47 million years from 490 to 443 Million Years Ago.
