Sun B ulk S ilicate E arth (~68 wt.%) + Fe-metal core (~31 wt.%) The Earth’s upper mantle is similar in composition to BSE, and is composed of a rock called peridotite, which consists largely of the minerals olivine and orthopyroxene basalt or granite crust Fe-Ni metallic core peridotite mantle SiO 2 + MgO + FeO ~ 91% Sun - Chondritic Meteorites - Earth’s Mantle ~
