What else can I help you with?
What is between oceanic crust and continental crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
Which portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and continental crust?
continental slope
What is the largest layer of earths surface?
The largest layer of Earth's surface is the crust, which is divided into oceanic and continental crust. The continental crust is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust, covering about 40% of the Earth's surface.
What are the three most common elements in Earths continental crust and oceanic crust?
The three most common elements in Earth's continental crust are oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. In the oceanic crust, the predominant elements are oxygen, silicon, and magnesium. While oxygen and silicon are abundant in both types of crust, aluminum is more prevalent in the continental crust, whereas magnesium is more common in the oceanic crust.
In which layer of earth would you expect to find the least dense materials?
The crust is the least dense portion of the solid Earth because it is the thinnest layer.
Which portion of earths crust is more dense. oceanic or continental?
Oceanic
What theory explains changes in the earths crust?
Contenintal Drift theory
Would it be better to drill through the earths crust or the oceanic crust?
oceanic crust
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
What is the portion of earths crust?
a portion is a small amount of it
Where are the youngest portion of Earth's crust found?
The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.
Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate
How thick is the earths oceanic crust?
one and a half miles thick
Compared to earths continental crust earths oceanic crust is?
Earth's oceanic crust is thinner, denser, and younger than Earth's continental crust. It is primarily composed of basaltic rock, whereas continental crust is made up of less dense granitic rock. Oceanic crust is constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at subduction zones.
What is between oceanic crust and continental crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
Which portion of continental Margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust?
continental slope
Which portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and continental crust?
continental slope
