What else can I help you with?
What do you call the thin outer layer of the earth's surface?
The Crust
What is the layers of the earth call?
I believe this would be the oceanic crust
What does geologists call the Crust and uppermost mantle?
Geologists refer to the crust and the uppermost mantle collectively as the "lithosphere." This layer is rigid and solid, lying above the more pliable asthenosphere. The lithosphere varies in thickness and is divided into oceanic and continental types, which play a crucial role in tectonic processes.
What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What do you normally call epidermis?
The epidermis is the outer layer of skin, this goes for almost all animals and plants. In mammals the epidermis consists of four to five separate layers, the top layer is made up of cornified cells, which form the primary protective layer. This layer is constantly renewed by releasing dead cells and advancing new cells. The bottom layer creates new cells which then start their journey to the top layer.
What do you call the thin outer layer of the earth's surface?
The Crust
What is the layers of the earth call?
I believe this would be the oceanic crust
Hair cut with the long bottom layer really thin and then the rest of the layers short?
Layers. I'd call it layers or a mullet.
What do scientists call the soil layers?
the first layer is called the topsoil the second layer is called the bedrock and the layer that holds water is called doldrums
Does the earth's crust include the sea?
There are two types of crust, oceanic and continental. Oceanic crust is covered by most of the oceans, but water from the oceans flows over parts of the continental crust and we call them seas. The water covering the crust is relatively thin so that it is usually not counted when discussing the crust.

What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What do we call the layers of gases that surrounds earth?
The layers of gases that surround Earth are called the atmosphere. The atmosphere is divided into several layers based on temperature and composition, with the troposphere being the layer closest to Earth's surface.
What is the earth made up of explain 3 major layers?
Earth is made up of iron, magnesium, nickel, and rock. The crust is the outer layer, only 5-40 km thick. Is has two parts, oceanic crust and continental crust. Continental is made up of granite, while oceanic is made of basalt. The mantle is the second layer of the earth. It has three parts to it: lithosphere, mesosphere, and ionosphere. This layer is about 3,000 km thick and is made up of iron and magnesium as well as rock. The mantle has millions of convection currents inside of it, helping form the magnetic field around the Earth's atmosphere. Finally, there's the core. It has only two parts, called the inner and outer core. They are both made of iron and nickel. The outer core is a liquid layer that covers the solid ball of iron we call the inner core. The inner core is solid because of all the pressure and heat applied to it from the layers above, making it unable to become a liquid layer. Also, the outer core is the only layer that's liquid. The rest are solid.
What do you call layer of wedding cake?
There is no special word for a layer of wedding cake. If the cake is constructed with each layer smaller than the layer below, the layers are called "tiers."
What do you call the section of the lithosphere over the asthenosphere that carries continental and oceanic crust?
it is not magma srry guys who read this earlier it is i think convection currents thats wat my school website says so ya.
What is the middle layer of the earth call?
This question is somewhat vague! The middle or centre of the whole Earth is the core. However the middle of the layers from the surface to the centre of the Earth is known as the mantle.
