What cause ocean ridges to form?
earths crust causes it
Why is there less silica in ocean water than river and ground water?
almost no silica in ocean water but most of its the earths crust.
What is the theory that earths crust is in a slow motion?
Plate Tectonics. The crust is in large, irregular plates shuffling around by new rock extruded from the upper Mantle in ocean plate boundaries, balanced by the loss of the fringes of the ocean-floor plates to subduction.
Explain the relationship between trenches and seafloor spreading?
1. New sea-floor is created by the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean spreading centers; old ocean floor is destroyed by subduction at deep sea trenches. 2. The area is a subduction zone. Magma from underground comes up and destroys that crust. That crust is then recycled and the magma cools and hardens. That creates new land, that creates the trenches. Seafloor spreading is in the ocean and happens with convection currents. That is the relationship between. 3. As new seafloor is formed at mid-ocean ridges, the old seafloor is pushed down into trenches at subduction zones.
Why the crust is thinner than the ocean floor?
The crust is the Ocean floor. There is Oceanic Crust, And then There is Continental Crust.
The layer of the earths crust that is not covered by ocean water is called what?
continental crust
Does the Earth's ocean have sulfur?
No it does not But it is in the atmosphere and earths crust!!
Why the oceans floor is considered part of Earth's crust?
earths crust includes ocean floors and
What cause ocean ridges to form?
earths crust causes it
How and why does the earths crust vary from place to place?
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

What is the moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle?
a moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle is called a ridge that's when the ocean floor has underwater volcano that erupts
Where can you find sodium in earth or ocean?
Sodium is found in the Earths crust!! But i don't know about the ocean!! And Sodium is salt!!
Continents and the ocean floor are part of earths solid rocky surface called?
crust
Does the earths crust extend deeper below the continents or below the ocean basins?
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
What is the thickness of the crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean
Why is there less silica in ocean water than river and ground water?
almost no silica in ocean water but most of its the earths crust.
