Life is only possible on Earth's crust primarily due to its unique combination of factors that support biological processes. The crust provides essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, along with a stable environment for liquid water, which is crucial for life as we know it. Additionally, the crust's temperature and pressure conditions are conducive to sustaining complex biochemical reactions. In contrast, extreme conditions found in deeper layers or other celestial bodies are often inhospitable to life.
What else can I help you with?
What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.
What makes up the earths lithosphere?
The Earth's lithosphere is made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates interact at plate boundaries, where geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Is it true that earths crust movement has been taking place only during the past 1000years?
No, Earth's crust movement has been occurring for billions of years as part of the process of plate tectonics. The movement of the Earth's crust has shaped the planet's surface and continues to do so over long geological timescales.
Is gold found in earths crust and where?
Gold Sulfate is found naturally only in geological zones called oxidizing sulfide deposits or oxidizing sulfide bodies.
What is the most common group of minerals and What is the percentage of the crust do they make up?
Silicate minerals are the most common group of minerals, comprising about 90% of the Earth's crust. They are characterized by silicon and oxygen atoms linked together with other elements like aluminum, magnesium, and iron.
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
How miners been able to dig into Earth's crust?
miners have been able to dig into the earths crust by big machines and other huge tools and they have only dig ed 2 miles into the earths crust
How many common elements make up earths crust?
17 only
What makes lithosphere?
im pretty sure it earths crust and core or if not the top part of the mantle and the crust above it this is the only infomation i could get sorry
How can I get digimon tag and crust in real life?
There is not a way to get digimon tags and crust in real life. This is only a game.
What is the measurement of Earth's crust?
The Earths crust is about 6miles thick and it covers the entire earth even at the bottom of oceans. The crust is only the beginning of the Earth and underneath is the mantle, outer layer and inner core.
Are alkaline metals the only metals found in the earths crust?
No, other elemental categories, such as alkali metals and transition metals are also found on the Earth's crust. One such alkali metal that is frequently found on the Earth's crust is potassium (K).
Is there life on planet earths moon?
I believe there are because were not the only planet
Which layer of the Earth is the only layer that is known to contain life?
The only layer of the earth to contain life is the crust. The crust consists of two parts: the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is below the oceans and is 4-7 miles thick. The continental crust is the surface you see. It is mostly water and 29% land.
What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.
Why do minerals only occur in metamorphic rocks?
because of the metamorphism when temperature and pressure inside earths crust change that were present in the rock when it formed
Name the element found in small amounts?
The rarest naturally occurring element is astatine (At), with an estimate of only 25 grams in the earths crust. The rarest man-made element is francium, which has a half life of only 20 minutes, and must be constantly produced in order to be studied.
