What is likely to form where oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust?
because oshieotic crust is under Mantle is thicker
What is the mantle of a volcano do?
Exploration of the mantle is generally conducted at the seabed rather than on land because of the relative thinness of the oceanic crust as compared to the significantly thicker continental crust.
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Why do astronomers conclude that the crust on mars must be thicker than Earths crust?
: Why do astronomers conclude that the crust on Mars must be thicker then Earth's crust?

The crust is much thinner than the mantle.

Does the continental or the oceanic crust extend farther into the mantle?
The continental crust because it is thicker than the oceanic crust

It's 29 times thicker

Why can continental crust displace more of the mantle than oceanic crust can?
the mantle is a hot ocean of lava basically and on it floats a series of tectonic plates, on the surface of the plates is the crust. there is your answer hope it helps.
In the mantle and core make tectonic plates move?
Convection currents in the mantle and core make tectonic plates move. The continental crust of the Earth is thicker and lighter than the oceanic crust.
Why is mantle hotter and denser than the crust?
The mantle is closer to the molten core of earth, so it is constantly heated by it. The crust is exposed to the atmosphere, which has some cooling effect, and the crust is, of course farthest from the core.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
What are three layer of the Earth?
