What else can I help you with?
Is this true or false the crust is the thinnest under high mountains?
False. The crust is actually thinnest under ocean basins due to the presence of dense oceanic crust. Under high mountains, the crust tends to be thicker due to the compression and folding of rock layers.
Mountain on the ocean floor that is completey under water?
A seamount is a mountain on the ocean floor that rises from the seabed but does not reach the water's surface. These undersea mountains are formed by volcanic activity and can be found at various depths in the ocean. They can support unique ecosystems and play a role in oceanic processes.
The chain of mountains that extends into all of the ocean on Earth is the?
Mid-Ocean Ridge
In which layer do you see mountains and ocean basins?
Mountains and ocean basins are typically found in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. Mountains are formed through tectonic processes like plate collisions, while ocean basins are created through processes like seafloor spreading.
Sea mountains are volcanic mountains located on the ocean floor?
Not exactly. Sea mountains are underwater topographic features that rise above the ocean floor but are not necessarily volcanic in origin. They can be formed through various geological processes such as tectonic activity or erosion.
Is the earth's crust thicker under the mountains or under the ocean?
mountains
What are ocean mountains?
mountains under deep water. I guess.
What is a chain of mountains under the ocean?
the Mid Ocean Ridge
What is an ocean ridge?
An ocean ridge is a line of mountains in middle of the ocean under the level of water.
What layer is thinnest under ocean and thickest in the mountains?
The Earth's crust is thinnest under the oceans and thickest in the mountains.
Where do mountains form?
Well convergent boundaries form mountains, but where do mountains form within the boundary? They start under the ocean and come up when the plates come together. So therfore they form under the ocean.
Are there mountains in waters?
if by that you mean there are mountains under the oceans then yes. Yeah Mid-Ocean Ridge
Name of underwater mountains in the Atlantic ocean?
under water moutain
Are there hill and mountains under the ocean?
Sure. The mountains are often tall enough to poke through the surface of the ocean where they are called islands. There are deep valleys under the ocean, too. Some are deep enough that you could put Mount Everest in the ocean into these valleys, and it would be completely covered in water.
Are mountains big?
Mountains tend to be larger under the ocean than on land. A mountain is large, though they can be rather small compared to other mountains or landforms.
What is a chain of mountains under the water called?
Mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge
Are they any mountain ranges under the sea?
Yes, there are mountain ranges under the sea. Mid-ocean ridge is a term for underwater mountains. The East Pacific Rise is an example of underwater mountains.
