divergence of continental crust create rift zones e.g.east african rift valley.firstly,divergence will create updoming of the area.after that step faulting will take place and that will result in narrow linear sea formation like red sea.finally separation of land and ocean ridge will occur.

∙ 11y agoThe result of the collision of two continental plates is crustal deformation and mountain building. A typical example is the Himalayas, which are the result of the collision of the Indo-Australian plate with the Eurasian plate. The collision of two plates form a convergent boundary described by the character of the plates involved: continent-continent (above), ocean-continent, ocean-ocean.

Oceanic crust is lighter than the continental crust?
No, the oceanic crust is denser. That's why the land areas "float" so much higher than the ocean bedrock.
Subduction of oceanic crust at a continental margin creates .?
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
Name a plate that is entirely made of continental crust?
All major plates contain both continental and oceanic crust except for the Pacific and Nazca plates.
Why is the oldest ocean crust only 150 million years old?
Because the oldest parts reach the continental crust and then the ocean floor sinks beneath the continental crust, into the mantle.
How deep is the earth's crust in feet?
The oceanic crust, or the crust of the earth that is under water, is between 15,840 feet and 31,680 feet thick. The continental crust, or the crust not covered in ocean water, is between 105,600 feet and 158,400 feet thick.
Which of the following landforms result from divergence of continental crust?
a rift valley
What landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
Compared to landform crust the ocean crust is?
younger
Is ocean crust or landform crust yonger?
When comparing an oceanic crust and a landform crust, the oceanic crust will be much younger. Typically, an oceanic crust is less than 200 million years old.
Where do valcanoes come from?
From the colliding plates called Plate Tectonics which two continental crust/ two oceanic crust/ continental - oceanic crust will collide then the one that is denser will go in the mantle that we called Subduction after that happens the one continental crust will go upward until volcano will formed that is called Upthrust Faulting. It is either the crust will form mountain or volcano but it depends upon the pressure in the mantle that makes the landform to have a Magma Chamber
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.
Which landform is crust thickest?
mountains
What layer of crust averages 25 miles in thickness?
Continental crust.
Which type of crust is thicker oceanic crust or continental crust?
I think it is the continental crust
