The Earth is made up of three layers. In the centre is the core, which is as big as the Mars and has a high 1 of over 7,000˚C. 2 the core is a thick layer called the mantle, 3 lower part is solid rock, 4 portion is molten rock called the magma. Floating on top of t...
In plate tectonics, Earth's outermost layer, or lithosphere—made up of the crust and upper mantle—is broken into large rocky plates. These plates lie ontop of a partially molten layer of rock called the asthenosphere. What is it called when tectonic plates collide? If two tectonic plates ...
The crust of the Earth is the top layer, the surface of the Earth. The layers under the crust are the mantle and the core. The heat and pressure increase significantly under the crust of the Earth where there is magma.Answer and Explanation: ...
How do plates move where convection currents are sinking? What can tectonic plates form when they converge? What tectonic plate is Mount Tambora on? Which layer of the geosphere supports the tectonic plates? Which layer of earth is made up of...
Geologic evidence shows that southern African has been slowly rising for the past 100 million years, yet it has not experienced a tectonic collision for nearly 400 million years.The explanation may be in Earth's mantle, the layer of rock underlying the tectonic plates and extending down over 1...
plates float on a denser semi-liquid mantle, the layer between the crust and Earth’s core.The plates have edges that are spreading ridges (where two plates are moving apart and new seafloor is being created), subduction zones (where two plates collide and one plunges beneath the other), ...
【小题2】 the core is a thick layer called the mantle, 【小题3】 lower part is solid rock, 【小题4】 portion is molten rock called the magma. Floating on top of the magma is the Earth’s rocky crust.The crust is made up of tectonic plates. These huge plates are moved slowly by...

The oceanic crust is the layer of earth beneath the ocean. It is composed of the upper oceanic crust and the lower oceanic crust, and is the top layer of the lithosphere. The continental crust is a layer of rock about 40 km thick which makes up all the continental land mass of t...
The epoch of the "ice ages" is the ___. Ice Ages An ice age is a period of time in which the earth undergoes a period of cooling. Typically during this period, huge glaciers form over the surface of the earth. Th...
