It is the crust and mantle,and core
The Oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust
It subducts under the continental plate because the oceanic plate is denser.
ocean crust is denser
Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.
denser (Apex)
The Oceanic plate denser than the continental plat because it contain magnesium,which is denser than aluminum found in continental plates.
The Oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust
It subducts under the continental plate because the oceanic plate is denser.
ocean crust is denser
Ocean crust is denser
Oceanic plates are primarily made up of basaltic rock while continental plates are primarily made of granitic rock. Basalt is denser than granite which allows oceanic plates to subduct beneath continental plates.
Because continental plates are denser than oceanic. That is why oceanic and continental plates cause subduction zones.
oceanic as it is colder; therefore denser
The oceanic plate subduct under the continental because oceanic is made from basalt(rock) which is denser than andesite and granite(continental)
denser
Yes it is
Oceanic crust subducts under continental crust because it is denser. Continental crust's density is too low for it to be forced into the mantle.
