name the layers of the Earth and explain the crust
Answers
The Earth's crust itself is the upper layer of the Lithosphere. The lower layer is called the Asthenosphere which is a highly viscous, ductile region of the upper mantle. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity.
The Earth's crust of two distinctive types: oceanic crust and continental crust. The former is more dense and less thicker.
Crust is of two types such as oceanic and continental. Besides that there are 2 layer that constitute the whole crust i.e sial( silica+aluminium) and sima(silica+magnesium). The continental crust have both the layer but sial layer is absent in oceanic one . The sial is located up to 11km and then sima is up to asthenosphere. There occurs a discontinuity between them called Conrad discontinuity.
hope it helps ^-^
