What is weathering and erosion of the earth's crust primarily caused by?
Gravity
What Crack in the earths crust where volcanic material escape?
Crust
How do humans affect erosion by mining?
you are digging into the crust and lava can eropt
Three of the four layers of this crust are igneous material?
oceanic crust
How does hot rock near mid-ocean ridges cause plates to move?
Hot material is constantly welling up from beneath the crust via convection and forming new crust as it cools. The continuous formation of new crust pushes the old crust outward from the mid-ocean ridges.
The removal of material by erosion will cause earths crust to?
rise
In which layer does erosion take place?
In the Crust because it's the only place where there is wind
Why does the erosion take place in the crust?
Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather
How does erosion and weathering effect the world?
A river can cause a cliff when moving the soil and rocks out to somewhere else. Volcanoes can make the Earth's crust wider.
Explain how erosion and isostasy eventually produce stable relatively thin continental crust?
As material is removed from mountains by erosion, the range floats upward to regain its isostatic balance. This process can be thought of as "the pull of erosion." As the mountains wear down to a low plain, erosion becomes virtually ineffective and the now this crust achieves isostatic balance; the former mountain belt becomes part of the craton.
What happens when the earths crust moves?
erosion
Why does erosion take place on the crust?
Because erosion only takes place on land
How does wind erosion affect earth's crust?
it doesn't
What layer of the Earth does erosion happen?
the crust layer.
Why are weathering and erosion considered destructive?
Suns crust
What is the first most abundant material in Earth's crust?
Rock is the most abundant material in the crust.
Why isn't new oceanic crust generated along volcanic island arcs?
At a volcanic island arc, an oceanic plate slides into the mantle and thus oceanic crust is destroyed. The volcanoes add material on to of the crust, but to not cause the crust to expand outward.
