What else can I help you with?
Why do continents float high relative to the ocean basin?
The continents are thicker and less dense than the materials that make up the ocean basins.
Are most plates boundaries continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
What part of earth is the continents and ocean basins?
crust
Are the continents and ocean basins located in the asthenosphere?
No, the continents and ocean basins are located on the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere.
what are the two divisions of earth's surface?
Ocean basins and continents
Does the earths crust extend deeper below the continents or below the ocean basins?
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
What are the two principal division of earth's surface?
Ocean basins and continents
What are the two principal divisions of Earth's surface?
Ocean basins and continents
Why are continents older than ocean basins?
well continets were created by god
Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
Most plate boundaries are located in ocean basins rather than on continents. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, leading to subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges where most of the plate boundaries are found in the oceans.
What is the second order of relief?
Largest parts of the planets (subdivisions) such as ocean basins and continents.
Which change would occur over the longest amount of time?
The movement of continents due to plate tectonics would occur over the longest amount of time, taking millions of years for significant changes to happen. This process is responsible for the drift and collision of continental plates, leading to the formation of mountains and ocean basins.
