Is there more of an iceberg under or over the water?
In water, most of any piece of floating ice is under the surface,and only a small amount of it is above the surface.
What colour is a white object under red light?
The white object will look red because the white surface reflects all colors and since only a red light is used it will only reflect red.
The particles in a surface water wave move back-and-forth only?
the particles in a surface water move back- and- forth only.
What is the cost of 100 grams of pure aluminum?
It's only about one dollar, since it's so commonly found in Earth's crust. It's only about one dollar, since it's so commonly found in Earth's crust.
What is the gravity percentage on Mars?
Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.
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.
True are false The crust is very thick and heavy?
False, the crust is actually a lot less dense than the materials below the crust, the mantle and the core, which contains the heavier elements of the earth's composition. The crust is in fact very thin in comparision to the size of the earth. The crust is only the first 40 km of under the surface, while to get to the core it is 6378km. The crust is about .62% of the earth's thickness, its almost like imagining earth as an orange and the crst being the wax covering the orange.
Is granite everywhere?
No. It only occurs in areas of continental crust and is only present at the surface in a small percentage of that.
Is the crust solid liquid semi-solid rocky all soil?
The crust is solid rock. Soil only makes up a small part of the crust right at its surface.
Is oceanic crust is usually thicker than continental crust?
No. Oceanic crust is heavier and denser than continental crust, but is actually thinner. Continental crust is believed to actually extend down into the magma of the mantle (upon which crust floats) more deeply than oceanic crust, similar to how a huge ice cube will not only be larger above the surface of water than a smaller ice cube, but will extend more deeply into a glass than a small ice cube ... so not only does continental crust extend higher on the surface (since it is continental crust, it has dry land above the ocean floor), but the 'bottom' of the crust also extends deeper into the earth. Oceanic crust is thus thinner than continental crust, but made of denser, heavier rock (which is why it subducts under continental crusts where continental and oceanic plates converge).
Do hot spots form only under oceanic crust?
No, there is a hot spot underyellowstone
What is the thickness of the earth's crust?
The Earth's oceanic crust is very thin at the mid-ocean ridges, and gradually thickens as it moves away from the ridges. The continental crust is thickest under mountain ranges. The average depth of oceanic crust is around 5 miles. The average depth of continental crust is 22 miles.
What can only be found under the surface of the earth?
dirt
Is the fallowing sentence True or falseHot spots form only under the oceanic crust?
its false
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?
No, earthquakes can occur anywhere in the crust, oceanic crust or continental crust. An earthquake occurs when the hard brittle solid material of the crust fractures under stress. Earthquakes cannot occur deeper than the crust (the mantle is plastic and flows slowly under stress instead of fracturing, the outer core is liquid and flows even easier than the mantle).
What floats on earth mantle?
The lithosphere, part crust and part rigid upper mantle, floats on the asthenosphere.
Which planet is the only planet with liquid water on its surface a liquid outer core and a crust broken into large plates?
Ours - Earth.
