What two types of plates make up the earth?
The two main types of plates are continental plates and oceanic plates. Continental plates are larger, thicker and less dense compared to oceanic plates.
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere. The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.
What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
What types of crust can be found in the lithosphere?
There are two types of crust, there is the oceanic and the continental crust.
What occurs when two plates collide with enough force to break the crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
What two types of plates does convergent boundaries involve?
There are two types of crust on Earth: oceanic and continental. A convergent plate boundary can involve two plates of oceanic crust, two of continental crust, or one of each.
What two types of plates make up the earth?
The two main types of plates are continental plates and oceanic plates. Continental plates are larger, thicker and less dense compared to oceanic plates.
What two types of crusts on earth are there?
The Earth's crust is broken up into a large pieces, which are called plates. Two types of plates are oceanic and continental
Earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections called?
It is broken into tectonic plates. Two types are the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
What is meant by continental crust and oceanic crust?
They are two different types of crust. Continental crust is heavier than Oceanic crust, so when the two collide, the Continental crust 'subducts' under the Oceanic Crust. 'Crust' referring to the tectonic plates, the surface of the Earth we stand on.
What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?
Plates
What is the earth's crust separated into?
The Earth's crust is separated into different plates. These plate move causing plate tectonics, which is the movement of Earth's crust. Also, the plates have boundaries at the end of each plate. There are three types of plate boundaries... 1. Divergent- where two plates are moving away from each other forming a gap in the crust in which magma rises and hardens forming new crust. 2. Convergent- Where two plates are coming into one another and one is forced down into the mantle. 3. Transform- Where no crust is destroyed/created because the two plates just slide past each other.
Name the two types of lithospheric plates?
There are two types of lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere and the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere exists in the ocean basins while the continental lithosphere exists in the continental crust.
What happens when the earths crust buckles in a wavelike pattern creating hills or mountains?
The action of earth's crust buckling in wave-like patterns is due to two plates coming together or converging. These plates can be either oceanic or continental plates. Examples of these types of plates are the Eurasian, Pacific, Australian, Caribbean plates.
Is it true that tectonic plates made up of land and ocean floor?
Yes, there are two types of crust on the Earth, oceanic and continental. The crust under the oceans is, of course, oceanic crust which has more mass than continental crust. Each type is formed from plates of different size and shape.
What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.
