What is the difference between the crust and the core?

Asked by bethlolcom24345455

Answer (3)

If you are talking about the earth, the crust is the outter side of the earth made up of minerals, particularly rocks such as metamorphic and igneous rocks. It is three times as thick under dryish land than under the sea. The core is at the very center of the earth. It is thought to be made of iron and nickel and it is so hot from all the compactness and no one, i repeat, nop one can ever dig deep enough to get there(and no, I didn't copy and paste. I knew this already)

crust is the outermost layer while core is the inner most layer

The crust is the Earth's outer layer made of solid rocks and minerals, while the core is the inner layer, mainly composed of iron and nickel. The crust supports life and varies in thickness, while the core generates the magnetic field and is extremely hot. Together, they form the fundamental structure of the Earth.
