What else can I help you with?
How might the continental shelf be affected if you had another ice age?
When there is another glaciation, water from the oceans will be locked up on land as ice. This will cause the sea levels to go down and more of the continental shelves will be exposed above sea level.
What feature is formed when an ocean plate collides with a continental plate?
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
Why does the oceanic crust go under the continental crust when they collide?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust because it is composed of mafic rocks like basalt, whereas continental crust is made of felsic rocks like granite. This density difference causes the oceanic crust to subduct under the less dense continental crust when they collide at convergent plate boundaries.
How far beneath Earth's surface would you have to go before you were no longer passing through rock that is composed mostly of silicon or oxygen and aluminum?
You would have to go around 20-30 kilometers beneath Earth's surface into the Earth's mantle before the dominant composition of rocks shifts significantly from silicon or oxygen-aluminum-based minerals. At this depth, the mantle consists primarily of silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate is usually subducted because?
the oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate due to its composition and temperature. This causes the oceanic plate to be forced beneath the continental plate in a process known as subduction.
What is the underwater edge of a continent called?
You can't have a continent rise from land, but you can have land rise from the continental shelf, which may be under water, and that is called an island.
What order does the ocean floors go in?
The order is continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise, seamount, abyssal plain, mid ocean ridge, and trench
What are facts about the benthic zone?
Starts at the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain,the pressure increases as you go downthe organisms decrease as the pressure increases
What are Facts about the 3 zones?
Starts at the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain,the pressure increases as you go downthe organisms decrease as the pressure increases
Were gummy bears available in the past?
That depends how far in the past you want to go. 10 years, yes.
Why did Americans seek continental expansion?
Americans sought continental expansion because they wanted to see how far they could go and they wanted to gain more freedom.
How might the continental shelf be affected if you had another ice age?
When there is another glaciation, water from the oceans will be locked up on land as ice. This will cause the sea levels to go down and more of the continental shelves will be exposed above sea level.
How do you get a shelf in harvest moon friends of mineral town?

How far is Hawaii to Denver by car?
You'll never make the drive - there are no roads which go from the Continental US to Hawaii.
Where is this labrador current found?
It is mainly found in the relatively shallow water from south of Greenland, along side the North East coast of North America (Canada) to a few hundred miles south of Newfoundland. There at the edge of the Continental shelf, it meets the Gulf stream travelling north. The Labrador current has been known to go as far south as Bermuda and as far east as the Azores, but, that is usually not the case.
How do you get past level 3 on fancy pants 2?
Go to the cannon and hop in. Go as far left as possible, then fire. Go past oil covered platform and onto the rope. Then go to the left, jump off, and out the door.
