What else can I help you with?
What changes occur when temperature and pressure inside Earth's crust change?
Deformation occurs
What is likely to occur at a plate boundary where oceanic crust collides with crust?
tides will occur.
What is likely to occur at a boundary where oceanic crust collides with continental crust?
tides will occur.
What earth crust?
The crust is the upper layer of the earth. It is where the movement of plates occur due to which earthquakes occur. The Earth's crust is a thin layer of rock, like skin on an apple.
Where do subduction's occur?
Where crust is destroyed
Why do most earthquakes occur in the litosphere?
the crust
Where does the Mohorovicic discontinuity occur?
Crust and Mantle.
What could cause isostatic adjustments?
Isostatic adjustments are primarily caused by changes in the Earth's crust due to variations in surface load or changes in the distribution of mass. This can occur as a result of glacial melting, where the removal of ice sheets reduces pressure on the underlying crust, allowing it to rise. Conversely, sediment deposition or tectonic activity can increase load, causing the crust to sink. Additionally, processes such as groundwater extraction can also lead to localized adjustments in the Earth's crust.
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?
No, earthquakes can occur anywhere in the crust, oceanic crust or continental crust. An earthquake occurs when the hard brittle solid material of the crust fractures under stress. Earthquakes cannot occur deeper than the crust (the mantle is plastic and flows slowly under stress instead of fracturing, the outer core is liquid and flows even easier than the mantle).
What are typical characteristics of subduction zone?
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
The mohorovicic discontinuity occur between the crust and the?
mantle
Most of the actinides occur naturally in the earths crust?
no they do not
