What accounts for the difference in density between oceanic crust and contenetial crust?
Continental crust is made of granite, and forms the continents and areas of shallow seabed close to their shores. It is less dense than the material of the mantle, which consists of mafic rock. Continental crust is then less-dense than oceanic crust, which, due to sea-floor spreading, is hardened mantle/lithosphere.
Why is oceanic lithosphere subducted during and oceanic continental collision where as the continental plate is not?
the oceanic plate is less bouyant so it slides under the continental plate
Which type of crust is thicker oceanic crust or continental crust?
I think it is the continental crust
What is the difference between oceanic and continental plates?
Continental plates are thicker and less dense. Continental plates are mainly granitic in composition. Oceanic plates are mainly basaltic in composition. The rock of continental plates is on average, much older than the rock of the oceanic plates. The oceanic plate underlies the oceans, and the continental plate makes up the land masses. Continental plates do not subduct at convergent plate boundaries.
When a continental crustal plate collides with an oceanic crustal plate the continental crust is forced to move over the oceanic crust What is the primary reason that the continental crust stays on?
Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
What was the weather like in Mexico in 1518?
Much the same it has now, with the exception that today's weather patterns have been affected by climate change (i.e.: winters are colder; summers are hotter; some areas receive more rain while others receive much less).
How is air pressure affected when an areas of earth is heated?
It expands, rises, and becomes less dense.
Is the continental crust thinner and denser in most areas than the oceanic crust?
No, in fact it is the opposite. The continental crust is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust.
Which computer transmission method is affected by extreme weather conditions?
The computer transmission method affected by extreme weather conditions is males that have put their 1.2inc erected penis in a creature less or equal to that of Talah has the lowest of standards. #Sione #Talah #TalahIsRank
Advantage electrical rising mains?
Rising mains come up from underground so they are less likely to be affected by weather conditions and they are not an eyesore.
What is the density to continental to Continental?
They are less dense that is why there is no subduction zone
What advantage do weather satellites have over ground based weather stations?
They are not affected by conditions on the ground. Ground-based stations could be destroyed by severe weather (such as tornadoes or hurricanes). Satellites don't get affected by Earth's weather. Of course - satellites are at risk of meteor strike and solar radiation - but there's less chance of them being damaged.
Would there still be a story if Bradbury's Venus had less extreme weather?
Yes, there would still be a story in Bradbury's "Venus" even if the weather was less extreme. The focus of the story is not solely on the extreme weather conditions but also on the themes of exploration, isolation, and human nature. These themes would still be relevant and impactful even with less extreme weather on Venus.
Why does Asia have diverse vegetation?
Asia has a diverse set of vegetation because it has a diverse set of climates. Some areas get a lot of water and warm weather while other areas get less water and are cold.
What does cool dense air near the sea move inland toward warm less dense areas during the day and sets up?
weather
How have people affected the spread of deserts in the Sahel?
More desert -> Less farmland and habitable areas -> Less food The effect of less food would lead to more problems
Why flies hate the cold?
A fly's activity level is seriously affected by cold weather. It becomes much less active and if the cold temperatures continue, the fly will eventually die.
