Is the continental crust thinner than the oceanic crust?
It is not. The oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust!
Why is the ocean crust thinner than the continental crust?
It is not. The oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust!
What is difference of the continental crust and the oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker but less dense, and oceanic crust is thinner but more dense, making it heavier.
Where is the crust on earth?
In general the Earth's oceanic crust is thinner then the continental crust
Oceanic crust is what than continental crust?
Oceanic crust is denser and thinner than continental crust. It is mainly composed of basalt, while continental crust is primarily made up of granite. Oceanic crust is also younger and constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity.
Oceanic crust slides under continental crust during subduction because oceanic crust is .?
denser (Apex)
What are the two types of crust on the earth?
There are two types of crust, and they are the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Oceanic crust is thinner yet more dense than continental crust, and continental crust is on average older than oceanic crust :)
Oceanic crust is than continental crust.?
younger
Compared to Earth's continental crust Earth's oceanic crust is?
thinner and denser
Is the lithosphere thinner under the oceanic or continental crust?
The lithosphere is generally thinner under oceanic crust compared to continental crust. Oceanic lithosphere is typically around 5-10 kilometers thick, while continental lithosphere can be up to 200 kilometers thick. This difference is due to variations in temperature and composition between the two types of crust.
How are oceanic crust and continental crust different?
Oceanic crust is denser and thinner than continental crust. Oceanic crust is primarily made up of basalt rock, while continental crust is composed of lighter granite rock. Additionally, oceanic crust is constantly being created and destroyed through seafloor spreading and subduction processes, whereas continental crust is relatively stable.
What is the thinnest layer of the earth's crust.?
Oceanic crust is generally thinner than continental crust.
