The composition of rocks affects their densities and the densities of Earth’s layers. Use what you have learned and the information in the table to answer the question. In which order would these rocks and minerals be found in the layers of Earth from the crust to the lower mantle? eclogite, perovskite, rhyolite, stishovite stishovite, rhyolite, perovskite, eclogite stishovite, perovskite, eclogite, rhyolite rhyolite, eclogite, perovskite, stishovite

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. rhyolite, eclogite, perovskite, stishovite

Explanation:

The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, which consists of sedimentary rocks. Beneath this layer is the Earth mantle, which is a thick, moving mass of silicate rocks between the crust and the outer core.

  • It is expected to find rocks and minerals from the crust to the lower mantle in the following order: rhyolite, eclogite, perovskite and stishovite.

  • Rhyolite is a dark-colored crystalline igneous rock, it is the most silica-rich of volcanic rocks. It typically forms on the continental crust.

  • Eclogite is an unusually dense rock formed when igneous or metamorphic rocks are subjected to high pressure. It can be found in the lowermost part of the thickened crust.

  • Perovskite is a calcium titanate mineral (formula CaTiO3), which is found in the lower part of the Earth's mantle.

  • Stishovite is an extremely dense silicon dioxide material, which is especially found in the lower part of the Earth's mantle.

In conclusion, it is expected to find rocks and minerals from the crust to the lower mantle in the following order: rhyolite, eclogite, perovskite and stishovite.
