Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What do geologists call small accreted crustal fragments that have a geologic history distinct from adjacent blocks?
Terrane
What is the crustal portion of each oceanic plate is composed primarily of?
Basalt rock with a layer of sedimentary rock overlaying that, covered with water saturated sediments.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks

How does the age of seafloor bedrock vary with distance from a mid-ocean ridge?
The further from the ridge, the older the oceanic crustal rock.
What geologic features of the ocean floor do you think are formed by crustal plates moving together?
Island Arcs and Ranges.
How would you describe jtuzo Wilson's theory?
Before 1965, geologists were unable to explain the abrupt disappearance of transcurrent faults in crustal rocks. Wilson explained the phenomenon with his suggestion that the vanishing faults could be explained by the presence of zones of contraction and expansion in the crustal bedrock. He named these "disappearing" faults transform faults.
Is the mid Atlantic rock the oldest rock?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is neither Continental rock or indeed the oldest rock on the planet. The rock in the ridge is commonly the youngest, or of the youngest, on the planet, as it was formed most recently, and is oceanic, not continental, crustal rock.

Basalt rock with a layer of sedimentary rock overlaying that, covered with water saturated sediments.
Why is the oceananic crust more dense then the continental crust?
Oceanic crust is composed of minerals with a higher density than those found in continental crustal rock.
