The crust is the outermost layer in the earth's structure and is solid. It is divided into two layers, continental crust, the solid part where people live, and the oceanic crust just below the continental crust,

That is, this plate extends from the west coast of North America to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. 从“The top layer of the earth is called the earth’s crust”,可以推断出答案。反馈 收藏
Earthquakes occur when the plates that make up the Earth's crust move around. These plates, called tectonic plates, can push against each other. Earthquakes are most common along fault lines, which are fractures that allow the plates to move. Earthquakes occur when two plates suddenly slip pa...
The Earth’s lithosphere is made up of the crust and part of the upper mantle. Image:Srimadhavadapted from USGS, public domain. Biosphere The biosphere covers all living organisms on Earth. There is an estimated 20 million to 100 millions different species in the world organized into the 100...
Like a giant broken-up cookie whose pieces float atop a sea of scalding milk, Earth's outer shell is made of (less-tasty) rocky rafts that constantly bump into and dive beneath each other in a process called plate tectonics. So what happens to those hunks of disappearing crust as they...
So when the volume of energy accumulated was too big to be supported by the earth crust, suddenly all that energy accumulated over the centuries was released in about one minute during the first earthquake." It is estimated that the Anatolia fault moves two centimeters each year,...
What percent of the Earth's crust is oxygen?Oxygen:Oxygen is very electronegative, so it has a strong attraction for electrons in chemical reactions. Oxygen is the third most commonly found element in the universe. Oxygen is also very abundant in the Earth's crust....
Semiconductors are typically made of silicon, which can become a good conductor of electricity when it’s processed. Silicon is also very stable, which means it can withstand high temperatures. And silicon is abundant: It accounts for about 28 percent of the Earth’s crust. ...
