What period came after the Cambrian period?
Ordovician .
What makes up earth's lithospere?
The Earth's lithosphere is made up of the uppermost layer of the crust, as well as the rigid mantle. It is composed of rocks, minerals, and various geological formations. The lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that float on the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere.
What was the climax like during the Ordovician period?
qwety
Where is the geological areas?
These are in the earth's crust. Geology consists of the study of rocks and rock formations (and includes mineralogy, and other areas of study). The question, however, is not entirely clear. (You might wish to be more specific!) ;)
The Ordovician period follows the extinction at the end of which period?
Cambrain
What is the definition for geologist?
A person who studies the formations, strata and crust of the earth.

When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
What is deep oceans trenches?
a deep-ocean trench is a portion of the earth crust
What is the dominant plant of the Ordovician period?
Algae was the dominant plant of the Ordovician. There were little to no other plants (other then algae) during the Ordovician. In the Ordovician, the common types of algae were Stromatolites (Blue green algae), and Tetradium (Red algae).
Rocks in continental crust are as old as years?
The oldest rock formations of the continental crust have been dated at 4.3 billion years of age, although the findings are encountering a bit of skepticism.

Which of Canada's parks is world renowned because of its rock formations which illustrate the massive geological evolution of the earths crust?
Quttinirpaaq National Park
Where is Earth's new crust from?
The new oceanic crust is from the mid-ocean ridge, located at the bottom of the sea floor. The mid-ocean risge is a divergent boundary where hot rock flows through forming what is called 'pillow formations' that look like they were squeezed out of a tube of toothpaste, since they are lumps of rock that pile over one another. These pillow formations smooth out as they move away from the mid-ocean ridge. The reason that the oceanic crust hasn't covered the Earth entirely is that there are these things called deep-ocean trenches, where dense, oceanic crust sinks under less dense continental crust.
