Question
the earths mantle is approximately 2,890 km thick. if the oceanic crust which is made of basalt, has a thickness of 10 km, what is the height of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust? the earths mantle is approximately 2,890 km thick. if the oceanic crust which is made of basalt, has a thickness of 10 km, what is the height of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust? the earths mantle is approximately 2,890 km thick. if the oceanic crust which is made of basalt, has a thickness of 10 km, what is the height of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust?Explanation / Answer
The earth's mantle is 2,890 km thick
Ocenic crust has a thickness of 10 km
Therefore the mantle beneath the oceanic crust is (2890-10)=2880 km
