The Earth's crust is primarily composed of low-density silicate minerals, with a significant portion made up of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole. These minerals are rich in silicon and oxygen, forming the foundation of continental and oceanic crust. The average composition of the crust is about 45% silicate minerals, which contribute to its relatively low density compared to the underlying mantle.
What else can I help you with?
Which of earths layers is comprised mainly of extremely hot liquid metals?
crust
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.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust

What layer is the layer of rock between the earths crust and core?
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
What are the two types of earths crusts?
The two types of Earth's crust are continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker, less dense, and composed mainly of granite, while oceanic crust is thinner, denser, and made up mostly of basalt.

What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle

What is the average thickness of Earth's crust?
The Earths Crust can be divided between Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust. Oceanic and Continental Crust are quiet different. The thickness of oceanic crust is between 5km and 10km. It is made of mainly basalt, grabbo and diabise. The thickness of continental crust is between 30km and 50km. It is made up of lighter rocks such as granite.
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
