If enough water pressure builds under the surface of the ground the water can burst through cracks forming?
If enough water pressure builds under the surface of the ground, it can cause the water to burst through cracks, forming geysers or springs. This phenomenon occurs when underground aquifers become pressurized and the water is forced to flow upwards through openings in the Earth's crust.
Which of earth's layers includes the land that makes up the continents and the land under the oceans?
The layer that includes the land making up the continents and the land under the oceans is the Earth's crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the continents, and oceanic crust, which underlies the ocean basins.
Which earths layer includes the land that make up the continents and land under the ocean?
The layer that includes the land making up continents and the land under the ocean is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. It is divided into continental crust, which forms the continents, and oceanic crust, which lies beneath the oceans.
How do the densities of oceanic crust and continental crust influence what happens when an oceanic plate coverages with a continental plate?
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust. All that water weight compresses the heck out of the material in the plate and also the oceanic crust contains larger percentages of denser elements such as magnesium and iron than the continental crust which also contributes to it's higher density. This sets the conditions for what happens. The more dense oceanic crust will "dive under" continental crust because it is more dense, and all because of the difference in densities.
What layer of the Earth's crust that is not covered by ocean water is called the crust?
The part of the Earth's crust that is not covered by ocean water is called the continental crust. It is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust and primarily makes up the continents.
Which planet has a moon with a possible ocean water under a crust of ice?
Jupiter's moons - Europa and Ganymede possibly have oceans of liquid water under their crust. Saturn's moon - Enceladus also has a possible ocean of water under it's crust.
What do scientist think might exist under Europa's crust?
Scientists believe that there is liquid water, under the crust of Europa.
How do the oceanic and continental crust differ?
Because the oceanic crust is under water in the ocean and a continental crust is land such as the continents
What layer has volcanoes?
under water mostly but you can find them on the crust!
How deep is the earth's crust in feet?
The oceanic crust, or the crust of the earth that is under water, is between 15,840 feet and 31,680 feet thick. The continental crust, or the crust not covered in ocean water, is between 105,600 feet and 158,400 feet thick.
How deep is the the Earth's crust in feet?
The oceanic crust, or the crust of the earth that is under water, is between 15,840 feet and 31,680 feet thick. The continental crust, or the crust not covered in ocean water, is between 105,600 feet and 158,400 feet thick.
Where does new water from Earth come from?
it comes from under the earth's crust
I know there is water under land But what is under water?
If we look beneath water, no matter how deep, we will always find the rock of the crust of the earth. You might have heard the term "ball of rock" applied to the earth, and the crust is the outer covering of that ball of rock. All of the world's oceans sit on top of the crust of the earth.
What happens when you lack water?
you become dehydrated
How do you become a underwater elephant?
You can not become an under water elephant but you can buy goggles a safty suit and water proof trousers and you can go under water?
Scientsts think that the moon europa may have what?
liquid water, under its icy crust.
What happens if cow poo goes to the water?
the water will become dirty
