What else can I help you with?
Why does the Earth's size remains the same despite of what is happening at the mid-oceanic ridge?
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.
How oceanic crust different?
Oceanic and Contintental crust are different in composition as well as size and density Continental- granitic/50-100km thick Oceanic- basaltic/ up to 10km thick Oceanic crust is more dense making it subduct under continental crust
Is the size of the earth increasing due to oceanic crust being produced?
No, the size of the Earth is not increasing due to oceanic crust being produced. The creation of oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is balanced by its destruction at subduction zones, resulting in a process known as plate tectonics where the Earth's surface remains relatively constant in size.
Is Japan continental continental oceanic oceanic or continental oceanic?
Oceanic-Oceanic.
How can ocean basins change size?
Through the reduction or enlargement of oceanic plates via plate tectonics.
What are pluton's and how are they classified?
Plutons are intrusive igneous rock bodies, formed though mountain-building processed and oceanic-oceanic collisions.They are classified by their size, shape, and relation to the surrounding rock.Hello Trevor. XD
What is the name of the chain of volcanoes that form at an oceanic to oceanic plate boundary?
When there is oceanic-oceanic convergence, one layer of oceanic lithosphere is subducted. This not only introduces water, which lowers the melting temperature of the asthenosphere, but can create an island with a volcano. This occurs when the hot magma rises from the subduction zone and build up in size. This would not have any specific name. If the volcano was situated on a hot spot, however, it would form linear island chains.
Earth's radius and surface area are slowly increasing to accommodate the new oceanic crust being formed at mid-oceanic ridges - true or false?
False. The Earth's radius and surface area do not increase as new oceanic crust is formed at mid-oceanic ridges. Instead, the creation of new crust at mid-oceanic ridges is balanced by the destruction of older crust at subduction zones, maintaining the overall size of the Earth.
What is an example of convergent boundary oceanic-oceanic?
an oceanic trench
What is an example of a oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
an oceanic trench
Is oceanic oceanic convergence?
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
What is oceanic and oceanic?
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
