state two cheif characteristics of the earths crust
Answers
Answer:
CHARACTERISTICS:
It is a solid. It has mass. It has volume. The typical composition is basaltic rock (beneath most oceans) and granitic rock (most continents) with lesser amounts of sedimentary rocks (both ocean and continental crust) and metamorphosed rocks. The upper surface of the crust is typically weathered and eroded, or deeply weathered, to soil. The lower surface is adjacent to, and in most areas somewhat merged with, the underlying mantle.
Explanation:
In geology, a crust is the outermost layer of a planet. The crust of the Earth is composed of a great variety of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The crust is underlain by the mantle. The upper part of the mantle is composed mostly of peridotite, a rock denser There are two different types of crust: thin oceanic crust that underlies the ocean basins, and thicker continental crust that underlies the continents. These two different types of crust are made up of different types of rock.
