Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
mantle |
|
inner core |
|
outer core |
|
continents |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:
chromosomes |
|
nuclei |
|
cells |
|
chromatids |
During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
primarily solid |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
|
primarily liquid |
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
