What type of fold is created when the crust bends and folds downward?
Syncline is a type of fold that is created when the crust bends and curves downward. It is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core.
An underwater canyon where oceanic crust bends downward is called a?
It's often called a trench.
A valley that dips between two parallel ranges of hills was formed by a downward fold in a rock is called an?
This geological formation is called a syncline. It is a downward fold in the rock layers where the youngest layers are in the center and the oldest are on the outside.
What is a canyon on the ocean floor at which the crust bends downward?
A canyon on the ocean floor where the crust bends downward is known as a "submarine trench." These trenches are formed by the process of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, creating deep, narrow depressions in the ocean floor. The Mariana Trench is the most famous example, reaching depths of over 36,000 feet. These geological features are significant for studying Earth's tectonic activity and marine biodiversity.
What type of fold is created when the crust bends and curves upward?
An Anticline is formed when the crust bends and curves upward.
Why does the erosion take place in the crust?
Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather
Why is continental crust deeper than oceanic crust?
The oceans flow to the places where the crust is the lowest. Gravity causes them to flow downward. The mantle, below the crust, is at the same depth everywhere, so if the crust is lower, it is because it is thinner.
A canyon on the ocean floor at which the crust bends downward is called?
A submarine canyon is a deep, steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, often formed by underwater currents. It can be a conduit for sediment transport from the shelf to the deep ocean.
What happens when the continental crust is over the ocean floor?
because 0ness
When the earths crust bends but does not break is called?
When the Earth's crust bends but does not break, it is called flexural bending or flexure. This type of deformation can occur in response to tectonic forces, leading to the formation of features like folds, fault-related folds, and anticlines.
SUbduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(an)?
deep ocean trench.
What is the hanging wall slides downward caused by tension in the crust?
A normal fault
