conditions, salt rock has been found in diverse applications in architecture, such as a construction material that uses blocks of salt to build structures, bricks, or tiles. Often translucent, these bricks allow diffused light to enter interior spaces, creating a unique atmosphere and aesthetic ...
It is composed of low-density, easily melted rocks; the continental crust is predominantly granitic rock (see granite), while composition of the oceanic crust corresponds mainly to that of basalt and gabbro. Analyses of seismic waves, generated by earthquakes within Earth’s interior, show that ...

(5 miles) per second. It increases to about 11 km (6.8 miles) per second near the centre of the Earth. The speed increase with depth results from increased hydrostatic pressure as well as from changes in rock composition; in general, the increase causesPwaves to travel in curved paths ...
Earth is made up of several layers: the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle (also known as mesospheric mantle), outer core and inner core.
Seismological studies have previously detected abundant scatterers in the lower mantle, potentially linked to long-term slab subduction, and petrology studies suggest carbonates can be sequestrated within the oceanic crust and transported into the lower
Earth’s Interior Layers of the Earth How much do you know about your planet? Text Book page numbers 80 - 87 True or False The Earth is made up of 3 layers. Answer: False 4 Layers The Crust is the thickest layer. The Inner Core is solid. Answer: False Mantle Answer: True The Mant...
Earth's Layers: Earth's Crust: Upper Mantle: Lower Mantle: Outer Core: Inner Core: The temperature of the inner core is estimated to be about 5,700 K (~5,400 °C; 9,800 °F). The only reason why iron and other heavy metals can be solid at such high temperatures is because their...
