Answer:
The sial is the Earth crust's top layer, which is made up of silicate and aluminium (Si = silicate, Al = aluminium).
Explanation:
Where is Silicon found:
Silicon is the second most plentiful element on Earth, accounting for 27.7% of its mass (oxygen is the first). It does not occur in nature uncombined, but rather as an oxide (silica) and as silicates.
What is Sial:
- The term sial refers to the composition of the upper layer of the Earth's crust, specifically rocks rich in aluminium silicate minerals, in geology.
- The sial is the crust's top layer, which is made up of silicate and aluminium.
- The silicates that make up Earth's mantle are a diverse group of chemicals with a silicon and oxygen structure.
