Where did the crust from the earth come from?
The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.
Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
What is the term used to describe the area where thin oceanic plates spread apart releasing magma and creating new oceanic crust?
mid-ocean rift zone
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
What term describes the process that creates new oceanic crust at mid ocean ridges?
Sea Floor Spreading
Where did the crust on the Earth come from?

Is new oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
Which is denser old oceanic crust or new oceanic crust?
how is this food and cooking? it is geography
Why is old oceanic crust denser than new oceanic crust?
cause its cooler
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What is the term used to describe the area where thin oceanic plates spread apart releasing magma and creating new oceanic crust?
mid-ocean rift zone
What is continental and oceanic crust?
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
Is ocean crust formed at a mid ocean ridge?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
