What else can I help you with?
What in earths interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
What is the relation between rising and sinking material in the earths interior and subduction and rifting?
Rising material in Earth's interior typically leads to rifting, where tectonic plates move apart. This process creates new crust. Sinking material, on the other hand, is associated with subduction, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another, leading to the destruction of crust.
By which process is the earths crust returned to the mantle?
The process by which the Earth's crust is returned to the mantle is known as subduction. In subduction zones, oceanic plates are forced beneath continental plates, carrying crustal material back into the mantle where it is recycled. This process is a key part of the Earth's tectonic cycle.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
What is the name of the process of recycling materials that make up the earths crust and mantle?
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.
Which force drives subduction?
An undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced
What effect do sea floor and subduction have on earths surface?
They both can change the size of Earths Surface
What do you think subduction means?
subduction is when a piece of the earths crust slides back into the mantle due to density differences
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
Is the partially melted zone of earths that carries the crust the lithosphere?
No it is really subduction
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
