What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
What is subuction?
subduction is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary.
What happens when the ocean crust sinks deeper inyo the mantle?
It melts and becomes magma.
What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary called?
This process is called subduction.
How are subduction boundaries related to mid-ocean ridges?
The ocean ridges push the old crust into a convergent boundary where it goes into a mantle convection current. The crust then melts in the convection current and is pushed out of the ocean ridge to restart the process again.
Where oceanic crust sinks toward the mantle beneath continental crust a deep ocean?
A deep ocean subduction trench
What does ocean crust and mantle form after subduction?
u form yo mama
At deep-ocean trenches what allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
Subduction.
Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at a?
deep ocean trench.
SUbduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(an)?
deep ocean trench.
Subduction occurs when?
It can occur in a subduction zone.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Is it true that At deep-ocean trenches conduction allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
No, subduction does.
How the Earth's crust remains the same size?
The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and mantle as they slide past one another.
What forms after ocean crust and mantle subduction?
This is the dumbest site because I'm not putting the answer to this question but just putting silliness.
What is subuction?
subduction is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary.
