Which is not one of the eight most common elements in Earths continental?
Carbon
Which event is the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries?
Rift Valleys are the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
What are the two types of crust and which rocks make up each crust?
there are two types of crust such as the oceanic crust and the continental crust, the oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than the continental crust and is constantly being recycled via subduction upon collisions with Continental crust, and creating at mid-ocean ridges. x
Which is not one of the eight common elements in earths's continetial crust?
Zinc.
What is a characteristic of subduction?
The correct answers are - B. Where oceanic crust meets continental crust, and C. Earthquakes.Subduction zones appear only on places where a crust of lower density (oceanic crust) meets a crust of higher density (continental crust).On the places where the oceanic crust meets the continental crust, the oceanic crust goes beneath the continental crust, this makes changes and readjustments in the inner part of the crust, and plus there's significant pressure from the mantle layer from beneath, so earthquakes are a very common occurrence.Check all that apply. A. Broad river deltas B. Where oceanic crust meets continental crust C. Earthquakes D. Two continents collide

The eight most common elements in the earths continental crust are; 1. Oxygen. 2. Silicon. 3. Aluminium. 4. Iron. 5. Calsium. 6. Sodium. 7. Potassium. 8. Magnesium.
Which event is the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries?
Rift Valleys are the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
What are the two most common elements that compose earths continental crust?
Granite and basalt...... + a bunch of bugs n' stuff

What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide, the continental lithosphere may be obducted over the oceanic lithosphere or the oceanic lithosphere may be subducted under the continental lithosphere. The latter is thought to be more common. This subduction and obduction generally results in tectonic activity such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Is quartz a common rock forming mineral?
Yes, especially in the continental crust, but not as common in the oceanic crust.
What is the most common type of rock in the earth?
Continental crust--granite. Oceanic crust--basalt.
Why are hot spot volcanoes more common where the mantle plume underlies an oceanic plate?
The crust of an oceanic plate is generally thinner that the crust of a continental plate.
