How is crustal rock heated inside the mantle?
Crustal rock is heated inside the mantle during divergent boundaries where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. In mid-ocean, this movement results in seafloor spreading and the formation of ocean ridges; on continents, crustal spreading can form rift valleys.
2 types of crust involved at constructive plate margins?
Oceanic crusts; the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise at zones of seafloor spreading and crustal extensions.
Sea-floor spreading is a result of?
Seafloor spreading occurs when two tectonic plates move further away from each at mid-ocean ridges. In these ridges new crust is formed through volcanic activity and thus expanding the seafloor.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks

What is crustal Compression?
when they are pushed together they form crustal rocks
How many plates are in the crustal plates?
There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
What is the process of new crust formation called?
Crustal accretion, crustal generation and crustal (petro)genesis are all terms that appear in the literature to describe the process of crustal formation. There are probably a large number of others!
What has the author Gail L Christeson written?
Gail L. Christeson has written: 'Seismic constraints on shallow crustal processes at the East Pacific Rise' -- subject(s): Sea-floor spreading, Crust, Geology
What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
What crustal feature will form when two crustal plates move together?
a fault
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
