What two types of crusts on earth are there?
The Earth's crust is broken up into a large pieces, which are called plates. Two types of plates are oceanic and continental
What two types of layers make up the crust?
lithosphere and mesosphere i prob spell these wrong so look them up
Describe two ways catastrophic events can change Earths crust?
tragic
What are the two types of crust and which rocks make up each crust?
there are two types of crust such as the oceanic crust and the continental crust, the oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than the continental crust and is constantly being recycled via subduction upon collisions with Continental crust, and creating at mid-ocean ridges. x

Compare and contrast three different kinds of colliding boundaries?
1. between the continential crust and the oceanic crust 2. between two continential crusts (forms a mountain) 3. between two oceanic crusts (forms mid-ocean ridges)
How does the thickness of continental crust differ from that oceanic crust?
There is actually a difference between the thickness of the two. The fact is, however, that actual variance of the Earth's crust is larger than the variance between the continental and oceanic crusts. However, here is the data- The Earth's crust is comprised of layers- the continental crusts are between 35-70 km thick while the oceanic crusts are between 5-10 km thick
What are two rocks that can be found in the earths crust?
Basalt and limestone.
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
