When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.

How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
Why is continental crust deeper than oceanic crust?
The oceans flow to the places where the crust is the lowest. Gravity causes them to flow downward. The mantle, below the crust, is at the same depth everywhere, so if the crust is lower, it is because it is thinner.
A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is?
A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase. The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is the same as the momentum of the ball alone before the collision.
How is crust similar to lithosphere?
The Earth's Crust, Lithosphere and Asthenosphere. Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. ... The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep.
Does seafloor displaces more of the mantle that the same thickness of the continental crust?
Yes

What happens when a train collides with ajeepney?
Unfortunately, trains collide with motor vehicles every day. These collisions often result in fatalities. The same result would occur in a collision with a Jeepney.
When a toy truck collides with a toy car the momentum of is the same before and after collision?

Why does the earths crust stay the same size?
The amount of crust present on Earth always stays the same. The amount of crust descending into the mantle is balanced by the amount of crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.
What is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time?
An Isochron is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time.
When a toy truck collides into a toy car the momentum of is the same before and after the collision?
yes the momentum of it is the same because P initial = P final ALWAYS!
Does earth's crust have the same density?
Density will vary from place to place with ocean crust being denser than continental crust.
Which is thicker earths crust or lithosphere?
the lithosphere and the crust of the earth are the same lithosphere is another word for crust so the thickest is both of them.
How is crust and lithosphere the same?
"Lithosphere" is the term given to the rocky outer layers of the Earth. The "Earth's Crust" is another name for the same thing.
Do cookies have crust?
Doughnuts do not have crust like bread does, however you could argue that the outside of a doughnut is the crust, but it is the same as the rest of the doughnut.
