Which Earth layer has the greatest density? The highest layer of earths atmosphere is the exosphere. The inner core has the most or highest amount of density (iron/nickel). I think its the core of the Earth with highest temperature with  6000 degree Celsius. The crust is the layer of the Earth that has the the lowest density. It depends a bit on what you consider being a part.

Astronomy Flashcards (chapters 4,5,6, & 7) Mercury and the Earth have about the same average density, but Mercury's core is much larger, compared to the size of the body. True The Earth has a solid inner metallic core, then a silicate mantle just above it.

- 1 The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer and is the most rigid layer of the Earth. 2  The lithosphere consists of the crust, and some of the uppermost mantle. 3  The lithosphere averages about 100 km thick.4  It is somewhat thicker beneath continents, and dramatically thinner under mid-ocean ridges.echanical layers differ in their strength or rigidity. These layers do not correspond on a one-to-one basis with the compositional layers. The Earth has five mechanic layers: 1  The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer and is the most rigid layer of the Earth.

What are the earth's layers? CRUST --The thin, outermost layer of the earth is called the crust. It makes up only one percent of the earth's mass. This consists of the continents and ocean basins. The crust has varying thickness, ranging between 35-70 km thick in the continents and 5-10 km thick in the ocean basins.

Layers of the earth The temperature of the lithosphere is around 300 to 500 degrees celsius, and the asthenosphere is around 4500 degrees celsius. The mantle has the biggest volume of all the layers, the volume of it is 84% of the earth. It is 1,800 miles deep or 2,900 kilometers deep.

- The interior of Earth, similar to the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The mantle is a layer between the crust and the outer core. Earth's mantle is a silicate rocky shell with an average thickness of 2,886 kilometres (1,793 mi). The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth's volume. It is predominantly solid but in geological time it behaves as a very viscous fluid.

Lithosphere Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. Oceanic lithosphere, which is associated with oceanic crust and exists in the ocean basins (mean density of about 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter). 2  Continental lithosphere, which is associated with continental crust (mean density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter).

What is the most dense layer of earth? Split and merge into it. Answer by Imzalas. Confidence votes 308. The densest layer of the Earth is the core which is made up of mostly iron and some smaller percentages of nickel and traces of irridium, thorium and uranium among other trace elements.

Earth's Internal Layers: Crust, Mantle & Core Sitting on top of the outer core, we find the mantle. This layer is by far the thickest layer of Earth, about 1,800 miles thick! It also makes up about 85% of Earth's volume. Like the core, the mantle contains mostly iron, but in the form of silicate rocks.You might be surprised to learn that this rock actually moves like a fluid, similar to how silly putty moves.arth can be divided into three main layers: the core, the mantle and the crust. Each of these layers can be further divided into two parts: the inner and outer core, the upper and lower mantle and the continental and oceanic crust. Both the inner and outer core are made up of mostly iron and a little bit of nickel.

- The lithosphere is 31 to 62 miles thick under the oceans. The lithosphere is the outermost shell of the Earth, separating the crust from the upper mantle. Movements of plates in the lithosphere formed giant mountains like Mount Everest. Lithospheric plates are more commonly known as tectonic plates. View slideshow of images above.

___ The Earth Density: Earth is the densest major body in the solar system. Density of planet Earth is about 5.52 g/cm 3 or 5 520 kg/m 3. Water, as you might know, has a density of 1000 kg/m 3 at 3.98 degrees centigrade and at one atmosphere of pressure.

- The mantle is the thickest layer of Earth, making up about 85% of Earth's volume. The lower mantle is pretty solid stuff, while the upper mantle moves around like silly putty. This movement of rock without breaking is called plasticity, and the liquid part of the mantle is referred to as the asthenosphere.

Structure of the Earth The interior structure of the Earth is layered in spherical shells, like an onion. These layers can be defined by either their chemical or their rheological properties. Earth has an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.arth's mantle extends to a depth of 2,890 km, making it the thickest layer of Earth. The upper mantle is divided into the lithospheric mantle and the asthenosphere. The upper and lower mantle are separated by the transition zone. The lowest part of the mantle next to the core-mantle boundary is known as the D″ layer.

The thickest layer of the Earth The thickest layer of the Earth. The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. Out of them, the mantle is the thickest layer, while the crust is the thinnest layer. Artistic depiction of the Earth’s structure. Image via Victoria Museum.

Layers of the earth The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.

What are the 4 layers of the Earth The hottest layer of the Earth is the core. The core itself contains two layers: the outer core and the inner core. Of these two, the inner core is the hottest at between 9,000 and 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

- The innermost layer surrounding the earth’s centre is called core, which isabout 3500 kms in radius. Core is the most dense layer of the earth with its densityrange from 9.5 to 14.5 and sometimes even higher. It is composed mainly of theiron and nickel thus commonly known as Nife.
