How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?
The mantle is located directly beneath the Earth's crust and is approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) thick. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho.
How far down is the earths crust?
The Earth's crust varies in thickness, averaging around 20–30 miles (30–50 kilometers) beneath continental landmasses and about 3–6 miles (5–10 kilometers) beneath oceanic regions.
Which is thicker continental crust oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust. Continental crust can be up to 70 kilometers thick, while oceanic crust is typically around 7 kilometers thick.
How far is the inner core to the crust?
From the Earth's crust to the inner core is about 3,950 miles.
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds form far above the Earth's surface, typically at altitudes above 20,000 feet. They are thin and wispy in appearance and are composed of ice crystals.
Why was the oil rig invented?
Oil deposits were found beneath the ocean, too far from the shore to drill from the land. Eventually someone had the bright idea to go and produce these rigs that drill at sea and the first oil rig was born. So, oil rigs were invented to pump the oil located beneath the sea bed far from shore.
Why can't the equipment used to drill for oil be used to drill into the mantle?
Because oil is in the crust, scientists never drilled to the mantle so far because it is too deep for them.

How far off shore are the oil rigs in the gulf?
41 miles
What is the earths most expansive layer?
The mantle contains the bulk of Earth's rock, far surpassing the crust. The outer core is a liquid, and therefore would not be considered rock.
How far beneath the earths surface would you have to go to be where there is no more granite?
Below the crust. This varies based on the thickness of the crust and it has to be continental crust for there to be granite. There are some exceptions to this but it is very complex and not very well understood at this time. The crust varies in thickness between ~25km and 70km (Basin and Range province and Himalayan Mountains, respectively).
How far away should your hands be when using a drill press?
For safety sake as far away from the drill part of the press as possible.
What are the result of heating up the earths core?
this question may actually end humanity because then the lava and stuff that's down there will get hotter and hotter and eventually break through earths crust causing... as far as i know volcano eruptions maybe earthquakes
What is older the oceanic crust or the continental crust?
Continental crust is far older than oceanic crust.
How far is it to Earth's crust?
From where
What crust is older in years the continental or the oceanic?
Continental crust is far older than oceanic crust.
How far is the Earth's crust?
the earth's crust is 2100 ki. down the earth.
