What else can I help you with?
What is the outer layer of the earth called?
The crust is the outer or surface layer of the planet.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What is the silica content of earth's crust under the oceans?
The silica content of Earth's crust under the oceans is around 50-60%. Silicon is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, with silica being a major component of minerals like quartz and feldspar found in oceanic crust.
What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
crust
Where is oxygen most commonly found in?
under the earths crust in trees and everywhere you can think of pretty much
If volcanoes get their magma from the crust below them what can you say about the silica content of Earths crust under the oceans?
The silica content of the Earth's crust beneath the oceans is typically lower compared to the crust beneath continents. This lower silica content results in a type of magma known as basalt, which is commonly associated with oceanic volcanoes like those found along mid-ocean ridges.
Which layer is thinnest under the oceans?
The layer that is thinnest under the oceans is the crust. While it is thinnest in those underwater regions, it is the thickest in the regions where mountains are.
What is the average thickness of the crust under the oceans?
The oceantic crust is (2-4mi)
Is the Earth's crust thicker under the oceans or the continents?
Earth's crust is far thicker under the continents.
Where is the crust thicker - under the continental shelf or under the oceans?
The crust is typically thicker under the continental shelf compared to under the oceans. This is because the continental crust is made of lighter granite rocks which are less dense than the basaltic rocks of the oceanic crust, resulting in thicker continental crust.
Where are Gulf?
Gulfs are found around the edges of oceans. They are usually formed by movements of tectonic plates under Earth's crust.
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
