when baking your continent, the crust should form naturally as this is part of the process. After baking your continent in a suitably large oven, take the continent and place on a massive cooling rack. The crust however is largely inedible.

The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and descending underneath a continental plate?
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.
Which is thicker continental crust or oceanic crust?
Continental crust A+
What is the continental crust of the earth?
what is the continental crust
This layer of the crust is made of granite?
continental crust
Which is thicker continental crust oceanic crust?
Continental crust is the thicker of the two: it extends far beneath and above the Oceanic crust.
What is the result of collision with two sections of the continental crust?
mountain formation
What may be associated with the collision of two of continental crust?
earthquakes and the formation of mountains
Why does oceanic crust dive underneath continental crust?
This process is known as subduction and occurs at convergent plate boundaries because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.
What may be associated with the collision of two sections of the Continental crust?
earthquakes and the formation of mountains
What happens when a plate carrying ocean crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What happen when a plate carrying oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What is the difference between the thickness of the continetal crust and oceanic crust?
In technical terms, the oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust so when the continental crust and the oceanic crust meet the continental crust will sink under and the oceanic crust will slide over and a volcano will be formed as well as producing earthquakes in the process.
What is the process of pushing denser oceanic crust under the less dense continental crust?
subduction
What happens when a plate carrying oceanic oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and descending underneath a continental plate?
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.
What is the process new crust formation called?
sea-floor spreading
What happens when a plate carrying oceanic crust collided with a plate carrying continental?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
