It's due to the mountain building process where one plate subducts under another, uplifting the lighter, less dense plate. Before melting of the subducting crust occurs, there are actually two plates, one stacked above the other.
What would you me to answer? why you need this quetion to do what? how would you like it to go for your benefit? or it is just matter of curiousity? or something very important for human existence? yes and no is we already know usually. if you can't decide which one, just follow your heart. which ever you go, there is always right way appear after all your hard work. so all the best wishes and trust yourself, trust people around you and wishing for good. you will be rewarded for sure in the eyes of God.

nothing is waste. all needed to convice yourself for deeper understanding of life. but be aware that other people has difrent roles to play!

No the crust is thicker under mountains. Just like icebergs a mountain needs more material in its hidden part than its visible part in order to keep the visible part's height.
The crust is thinnest under the oceans.
On average continental crust is about 10 times as thick as oceanic crust. Under mountains the continental crust is thicker than this average.
The logging of water on the downtrodden areas of earth makes that part softer.
because the land is higher therefore it is thicker.
i dont no someone please answer this question
Yes
earths crust causes it
almost no silica in ocean water but most of its the earths crust.
Sediments become thicker away from the mid ocean ridge. This is because the oceanic crust away from the mid ocean ridge is older than the crust close to it, so sediment has had more time to accumulate.
The crust under the ocean is thinner than continental crust. Ocean crust is also, on average, richer in minerals containing iron and magnesium, giving it a greater density than continental crust. Imagine placing two slabs of wood next to each other in a swimming pool. The first slab will be thin piece of oak and the second will be thicker piece of pine. The pine, being less dense than the oak, will stick up higher in the water and at the same time will also ride lower in the water than the oak. Similarly, both ocean crust and continental crust float on the mantle (more specifically the asthenosphere which is a layer in the upper mantle). Ocean crust is like the oak and continental crust is like the pine. Ocean crust is composed largely of the igneous rocks basalt, gabbro, and peridotite. Continental crust is much more diverse in its composition, but on average is similar in density to granite.
Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.
mountains
Earth's crust is far thicker under the continents.
well mountains and volcanoes are created as well as ocean basins
Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust.
continental crust
No it does not But it is in the atmosphere and earths crust!!
earths crust includes ocean floors and
earths crust causes it
Sodium is found in the Earths crust!! But i don't know about the ocean!! And Sodium is salt!!
The crust under the ocean floor is thinner than the crust under mountain....if thats what your asking....hope it helped!
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.
