Students have asked these similar questions

Earth's surface area is 5.10x10^8 km^2 .Earth's crust has a thickness (or depth) of 35 km and density 2.8 g/cm^3 for earth's crust. a) Calculate the volume of earth's crust in km^3 b) Express your answer from part (a) in cm^3 c) Calculate the mass of the crust tons (t) : 1 ton=1000kg d) Silicon's concentration in earth's crust is 2.72x105grams/ton. Calculate the mass of silicon (in grams) present in earth's crust.

Earth's mass ia 6x10^24 kg and its radius is 6.4x10^6 m. What is the average mass density of Earth? The density of the rocks compromising Earth's outermost layer (its "crust") ranges from 2000 to 3500 kg/m ^3. Based on your answer, what can you conclude about the material deep inside Earth's interior?
