How does density play a role in the atmosphere?
it doesnt play a role
Why does oceanic crust slide below continental crust in subduction zones?
The rock density, tectonic plate movement and gravity!!
What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
subduction is the answer.
What is the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?
It is called subduction.
What is a synonym for subduction?
A synonym for subduction is decrease.
Describe the process of subduction and how density plays a role in this process?
Ocean lithosphere is higher density so it sinks to the bottom.
How does density play a role in the atmosphere?
it doesnt play a role
What role does gravity play in air density?
it pushes things down
What do you think subduction means?
subduction is when a piece of the earths crust slides back into the mantle due to density differences
What is the density to continental to Continental?
They are less dense that is why there is no subduction zone
Does weight or density play a huge role in determining whether or not an object will break surface tension?
Density plays a bigger role.
Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone?
density
What property of the plates determines which play is subducted at a convergent boundary?
Subduction is the movement of one tectonic plate under another. The property of the plates that determines which plate is subducted at convergent boundaries is density.
What three things play a role in convection?
Heat source, fluid density, and constraining factor (ie the glass for a glass of water, thermal gradient for the atmosphere) are three things that play a role in convection.
Why does oceanic crust slide below continental crust in subduction zones?
The rock density, tectonic plate movement and gravity!!
What changes the density of the earth's crust in particular places?
rocks and mineral deposits play a role in the various densities across the earth's surface :)
Compared to the density of liquid water 1 gram. what is the average range of density in the terrestrial planets?
The density of water in terrestrial depends on many different factors. The density can only be determined based on the planet's history, they may have "water", but there could be other things inside. Also the gravity of the planet play a role of the density of the water.
