What else can I help you with?
Where older crust is destroyed because two plates press together?
convergent boundary
What is the place where older crust is destoyed because two plates converge or push together?
Convergent boundary...it's on my homework
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
Where is the newer and older ocean crust found?
The newer ocean crust is primarily found at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are diverging, allowing magma to rise and solidify, forming fresh crust. In contrast, the older ocean crust is typically located further away from these ridges, often subducted at convergent boundaries where it is recycled back into the mantle. This age gradient helps scientists understand plate tectonics and the dynamic processes of the Earth's lithosphere.
Why is the oldest seafloor crust found farthest from a mid-ocean ridge?
because the older crust is pushed out by the newer crust that is forming
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
When two property deeds show different boundary lines which ones takes precedence - the older or the newer?
The older. and it should not different from the certificate of encumbrance.
Where is the place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge?
A destructive plate boundary (usually a subduction zone).
What is older the oceanic crust or the continental crust?
Continental crust is far older than oceanic crust.
When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
At a convergent boundary where two oceanic plates meet, the denser plate will typically subduct below the less dense plate. The denser plate is usually the older, cooler, and more compacted of the two plates.
What happens to the old crust when new crust is made?
This question can be answered by looking at the Mid Ocean Ridge. Being a mostly divergent boundary, the oceanic plates are pulling away due to tensional stress. One would assume this would leave a deep ocean trench as the plates pull away. This is not the case. As the plates pull away, igneous material (usually basalt) is produced upwards and immediately fills the void left by the separating plates. This new magma is at the very center of the Mid Ocean Ridge. The older magma that had been produced in this same method are on either side of this new material. As the plates pull apart, the old material is pulled with it. Gravity also pulls these older materials downward and away from the higher Mid Ocean Ridge.
What Is the relation between age of oceanic crust and distance from divergent plate boundary?
When oceanic crust is still young, it's relatively warm. The older it gets, the colder it gets. The colder it gets, the less volume it takes in, however, it's still the same amount of matter. This causes a bigger density, thus causing the crust to sink deeper into the mantle.
