The great variety of rocks of which the crust of the earth is composed has been divided into three great groups in accordance with the manner in which they were formed. These groups are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The igneous rocks are those which have solidified from a melted condit...
Many trace elements are highly concentrated in the Earth's continental crust relative to estimates of the whole-earth composition. The crust thus possesses a geochemical importance out of proportion to its mass, and its origin and composition are important in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. The reco...
then it must be contracting. As the crust is already cool it has ceased to contract and thus the interior shrinks away from it and it must fold up in order still to rest upon the shrinking interior. The cooling of the earth is so slow that the folding under ordinary conditions disturbs ...

A new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower crust (MLC) of about 1:0.6:0.4. These proportions are derived from a 3000 km long refraction seismic profile through western Europe (EGT) comprising 60%...
Keep in mind, the elemental composition of the Earth's crust is not the same as the composition of the Earth. The mantle and core account for significantly more mass than the crust. The mantle is about 44.8% oxygen, 21.5% silicon, and 22.8% magnesium, with iron, aluminum, calcium, sodiu...
Due to the anisotropy of the Earth’s crust, shear-wave propagation in fiber-reinforced composites under all the possible circumstances (viz., several types of heterogeneity, impulsive forces, initial stress, several types of irregular boundaries, the thickness of the materials, etc.) were ...
