Which state of matter is the earth's crust?
The state of matter the Earth's crust is in is solid.
Is oceanic crust slide under oceanic crust during subduction?
yes, The contiental goes over it.
What is the difference between contiental crust and oceanic crust?
Continental crust is on top of the oceanic crust Continental crust is made of granite whereas oceanic crust is made of basalt Continental crust is partly above sea level and partly below whereas oceanic crust is always below sea level.
What is the state of matter of oceanic crust?
It is in a solid state of matter. Unlike the deeper rocks of the mantle, crustal rocks do not readily deform, and heating from below will cause the lowest layers to melt into magma...which being less dense tends to flow upward.
What is the gaseous state of rock?
I'm trying to figure out the 3 stages of matter for rock. I know the solid state is rock and the liquid state is lava (or magma if inside the Earth's crust), but I cannot figure out what the gaseous state is (if one exists).P.S. Before someone states that there are actually four states of matter, I know that, but not all chemicals substances have a plasma state.
What does Oceanic crust subduct under contiental crust?

What happens when a plate carrying ocean crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.

Why do oceanic plates subduct?
Bacause they are composed of material that is denser than that of the continental crust. As such ocernic crust is less bouyant than contiental crust and so where oceanic crust collides with continental crust, the oceanic srust tends to be forced beneath the continetal crust.
