What else can I help you with?
When a continental crustal plate collides with an oceanic crustal plate the continental crust is forced to move over the oceanic crust What is the primary reason that the continental crust stays on?
The continental crust is less dense and thicker than oceanic crust, which allows it to stay on top during a collision. The low density and greater thickness of continental crust help it resist subduction beneath the oceanic crust.
How do scientists explain why if new crust is constantly being formed formed from volcanic materials Earth's crust stays the same size?
The constant formation of new crust at mid-ocean ridges is balanced by the consumption of crust at subduction zones. This process, known as plate tectonics, involves the recycling of Earth's crust. As new crust forms, older crust is pushed back into the mantle, ensuring that the overall size of Earth's crust remains relatively constant over time.
Is Sulfate a solid or aqueous solution?
It's usually found in an aqueous solution as it is an ion with a charge of (-2), although if it is combined with Strontium, Barium, Calcium, Silver, or Lead the compound becomes insoluble and stays a solid.
What stays the same when ice melts?
When ice melts, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same. Only the physical state changes from a solid to a liquid, while the molecules that make up the ice remain unchanged.
How is the formation of Mount St. Helens volcano different than a hot-spot volcano?
Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano formed by the subduction of tectonic plates, where the Pacific plate is being forced beneath the North American plate. Hot-spot volcanoes, like the Hawaiian Islands, are formed by magma that rises from a fixed mantle plume hotspot under the Earth's crust.
What does not float but does not sink to the bottom but stays suspended in the water?
fish

Is fabric solid liquid or gas?
fabric is a solid because it stays together
How can the inner core be hotter than the outer core but be in solid form while the outer core is in liquid form?
the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, but the inner core has so much weight being pressed against is from the mantle, crust, outer core, and gravity that it stays as solid nickel and can not move
What happens when subduction occurs faster than oceanic crust can be created?
It's driven down into the mantle and it melts, although some of it stays solid and forms the base of the mountain range that was just created.
Why does the earths crust stay the same size?
The amount of crust present on Earth always stays the same. The amount of crust descending into the mantle is balanced by the amount of crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.
Is fabric a solid or liquid or gas?
fabric is a solid because it stays together
What is the name for when a solid mixes with a liquid and stays mixed?
When a solid mixes with a liquid and stays mixed, it forms a homogeneous mixture called a solution. In a solution, the solid particles are evenly distributed throughout the liquid, giving it a uniform appearance.
How does a ship stay on top of water?
a ship stays on water frombuoyancy which makes it float. the saltier the water the more buoyancy there is, enabling more weight to float on top
Does a weighted air filled balloon with the same density as water float or sink?
Neither, it just stays submerged, provided its density stays the same as the water around.
