What else can I help you with?
Is Earth's oceanic crust thicker or the continential crust?
the Continental crust is thicker
What is the main component of continential crust?
It varies from place to place. However it is often referred to as granitic.
How is a continential listhophere different from a oceanic lithoshere?
There is only a slight difference between crust and lithosphere. The difference is that the lithosphere is part of the Earth that encompasses.
What is the difference between continential and oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker, less dense, and typically older than oceanic crust. Oceanic crust is thinner, more dense, and younger as it is constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges and being recycled at subduction zones.
What are facts about Continental and Oceanic Crust and Lithospheric Plates Including what they are made of and their approximate temperature?
the continential crust is made of granitic rocks and the oceanic crust is made of basat and gabbro. the temp of the continential crust is -84.4 to 70.7c and the temp for oceanic crust is -18 to 380c and the lithopheric plates are made of felsic rocks. good luck with the rest.
What is the primary reason that the continential crust stays on top of the oceanic crust?
The primary reason continental crust remains above oceanic crust is its lower density. Continental crust is primarily composed of lighter, less dense rocks like granite, while oceanic crust is denser, made mostly of basalt. This difference in density causes the buoyant continental crust to "float" on the denser oceanic crust beneath it, resulting in the continental crust being elevated above sea level.
Where is the flasher for turn signal located on 1998 Lincoln Continential?
Where to find flasher on 1998 Lincoln Continential
What are the features of crust mantle and core?
the crust is dirt, the mantle is lava and the core is liquid and or solid metal
How are geological features that exist on land similar to the geological features on the ocean floor?
because its is all crust
How are the geological features that exist on lands similar to the geological features on the ocean floor?
because its is all crust
How are the geological features that exist on land similar to the geological features on the ocean floor?
because its is all crust
What are 2 features of the continental and the oceanicc crust?
I have no clue?!?!?!? help mee?!?!?!
