What type of earth plate is more dense?
Oceanic Crust
What type of crust is most dense?
the thickest part of the crust is the continental crust.
Which type of crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense?
Continental is made mostly of granite. Oceanic is made mostly of basalt and gabbro.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
Which type of crust is thicker oceanic crust or continental crust?
I think it is the continental crust
What type of earth plate is more dense?
Oceanic Crust
What is the densest type of crust?
No. The crust is the least dense of Earth's layers. The inner core is the densest player.
What type of crust is most dense?
the thickest part of the crust is the continental crust.
Which type of crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense?
Continental is made mostly of granite. Oceanic is made mostly of basalt and gabbro.
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
Which type of crust is thicker oceanic crust or continental crust?
I think it is the continental crust
Why is older oceanic crust more dense than younger oceanic crust?
Oceanic crust averages 3 grams per cubic centimeter, Continental crust averages 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. The difference lies in the rock which composes each type of crust. Oceanic crust is mainly basalt and continental crust is more like granite. Basalt is more dense (heavier) than granite.
Subduction zones and what type of boundary do they represent?
Subduction zones represent convergent boundaries, where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust, or under a less dense oceanic crust.
What type of mountain is form by upward movements by ckunks of earths crust?
I believe it's Andes Mountains.
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks is the most common rock type. 75% of all rocks on earth are Sedimentary.
