What region is basalt rock found in?
Oceanic Crust :):):):)
What are the two crusts found on earth?
The earth's crust is comprised of the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Bread has the crunchy and the sofy crust.
What are 2 types of minerals found in Earth's crust?
continental oceanic
What is the rock that makes up most of oceanic crust?
Most of the oceanic crust is made of peridotite. Some basalt and gabbro may also be found.
Where is basalt located?
Basalt is generally found on and near volcanoes.
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.
Why is the oldest rock on planet earth found on continental plates not oceanic plates?
Oceanic crust is constantly being recycled. New oceanic crust is formed at mid ocean ridges while old ocean crust is destroyed at subduction zones. As a result there is little oceanic crust that is older than 200 million years. Continental crust does not get destroyed by subduction, so much of it has been around since the Precambrian time.
Where can the youngest oceanic crust be found?
The youngest oceanic crust can be found near the mid-ocean ridges.
What kind of crust is found under the ocean?
oceanic crust
Where does the ocean floor go to after 180 million years?
Where old oceanic crust meets continental crust or younger oceanic crust at a convergent plate boundary it gets forced down into the mantle. This process does not necessarily happen when the crust is 180 millions years old. Rather, the oldest oceanic crust is found along the edges of the Atlantic ocean, dating to when it first formed in the Jurassic period.
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
What types of crust can be found in the lithosphere?
There are two types of crust, there is the oceanic and the continental crust.
What boundary is a syncline in?
Syncline folds are found in Convergent boundaries. (Oceanic - Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Oceanic-Continental)
Were is the oceanic crust located?
It is found at the bottom of the ocean!
What region is basalt rock found in?
Oceanic Crust :):):):)
What kind of crust are Plates made of?
rocky almost cement crust like granite found in continental crust and basalt found in oceanic crust
What is oceanic crust composed of?
The oceanic crust composed of sima, mafic rocks and basalt. This is the top layer of the lithosphere which is found in the ocean floor.
