What is the process of new crust formation called?
Crustal accretion, crustal generation and crustal (petro)genesis are all terms that appear in the literature to describe the process of crustal formation. There are probably a large number of others!
How much do mountains rise with each addition of 1000 meters of crustal material?
200 meters
What are terranes?
A terrane is a fragment of crustal material formed on, or broken off from, one tectonic plate and accreted
Why are metamorphic rocks often found near granite?
Intrusions of granite plutons change the surrounding rock through heat in a process known as contact metamorphism. Crustal collisions which may precipitate the melting of crustal material and its rise to the surface (and the creation of granite), also give rise to pressures and heat which can metamorphose other igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in the surrounding area which is called regional metamorphism.
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
What is the basic crustal material?
the Oceanic boundry
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks

What is it called when Crust is created?
Crustal Birth
What is is called when crust is created.?
Crustal Birth
What are crustal disturbances on the moon called?
Crustal disturbances on the Moon are often referred to as "lunar tectonics." These disturbances are caused by a combination of factors such as impact events, volcanic activity, and the Moon's cooling and contracting interior. They result in features like fault lines, rift valleys, and mountain ranges on the lunar surface.
How much do mountains rise with each addition of 1000 meters of crustal material?
200 meters
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movements is called diastrophism. It is considered part of the field of geotectonics.
What is a skarns?
Molten rock that moves throgh crustal carbonate rock, That is heat the rock. Hot water as a form of steam or superheated fluid reats with crustal rock and other igneous material.
What are terranes?
A terrane is a fragment of crustal material formed on, or broken off from, one tectonic plate and accreted
Physical or chemical changes that occur in exposed crustal material through the activity of the forces of nature is?
erosion
The sections of solid ground floating are called?
crustal plates
