A usually light colored igneous rock that is found in continental crust.
The earth outer core is made of basalt and granite.
The asthenosphere is actually a part of the of the earth.
Basaltic rocks underlie the seafloors and granitic rocks make up the continents.
Made up of granite and basalt hottest spot is about 1 500 celsius continental crust crust that forms the continents.
The inner core begins about 4000 miles beneath the crust and is about.
The crust is very rigid hard.
The composition of the earth s inner core is thought to be.
The earth s outer core is made of basalt and granite.
It is also made up of iron and nickel but.
Continental crust igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks the mantle iron and magnesium rich silicate rocks.
The crust silicate rocks primarily granite and basalt.
Inner core crust mantle hydrosphere.
Outer core inner core the crust the crust of the earth is very slowly growing thicker.
The inner core is the deepest layer on earth.
We know that the seismic velocities of these rock types as measured in the lab match those seen in the crust down as far as the moho.
The ocean basically takes up 70 of the crust.
The layer of hot solid material between earth s crust and core.
What layer is found directly above the earths core.
Depends if your talking about the inner core or the outer core.
The crust is the most outer layer of the earth.
Denser and mostly made up of the rock basalt.
Upper mantlelower mantle the core iron nickel alloy.
The crust is divided into continental plates that drift slowly every year about a few.
Made of mostly granite rock.
The outer core is composed of the melted metals nickel and iron.
Solid iron nickel alloy d.
Inner core outer core mantle crust b.
The inner core of the earth has temperatures and pressures so great that the metals are squeezed together and are not able to move about like a liquid but are forced to vibrate in place as a solid.
The thin rocky crust is made out of silicon aluminum calcium sodium and potassium.
We know that the earth s outer layer is made of two grand categories of rocks.
Volcanic activity is continually adding mass to t.
Oceanic crust mostly basalt.
The crust is made of granite and basalt.
The spinning of the asthenosphere made of iron and nickel explains why earth has a magnetic field.
The crust not the core is made largely of iron and basalt.
Ranges from 1 70 km thick.
The crust makes.
Outer core or mantle.
