The layer below the continents and the ocean floor is the Earth's mantle. It is a solid layer of rock that extends about 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) beneath the Earth's surface. The mantle is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates and drives processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
No, mountains can also be found on the ocean floor. These underwater mountains are known as seamounts or guyots. They are formed by volcanic activity and can rise thousands of feet from the ocean floor.
The continents that lie between the Southern Ocean are Antarctica, Australia, and South America.
The four large bodies of water separating the continents are the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Each ocean separates various continents on Earth.
Asia and Australia are the two continents that touch both the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
The underwater mountain chain is called the mid-ocean ridge
The crust contains the ocean floor and also the continents on Earth.
the outer layer of earth ; includes continents,oceans and ocean floor
Earth's crust is composed of the continents and the ocean floor.
Is a diverse as that of the continents
Tectonic Plates can't carry both ocean floor and continents on the same plate.
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
Ocean Crust.
The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt

The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
They do touch the ocean floor. they're like a giant mound, and the beaches flow into the water.
