subduction zone
The area where the crust goes back down into the Earth is called a subduction zone. This is where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, typically forming deep ocean trenches.
The area where the crust goes back down into the Earth is called a subduction zone. Subduction zones are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate.
Isostasy is the condition of gravitational equilibrium in the Earth's crust. It refers to the balance between the forces pushing down on the crust (gravity) and the forces pushing back up (buoyancy) caused by variations in the density and thickness of different parts of the crust.
subduction zone
Do you mean under the Earth's crust or above it? If you mean under it: The heat under the Earth's crust rises and falls as it heats and cools. Above the crust, the sun heats the earth, heat rises, cools, falls back down. Hope that helps.

The mantle
That would be Subduction.
New crust is constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity. However, the Earth does not get larger because as new crust is formed, older crust is subducted back into the mantle at subduction zones, maintaining a relatively constant amount of crust on the Earth's surface.
the earth's crust is 2100 ki. down the earth.
No. They may damage man made structures and cause the earth's crust to deform but they do not destroy it. The only place earth's crust is destroyed (although recycled may be a more appropriate term) is at a subduction zone where oceanic crust sinks back down into earth's mantle.
