How are oceanic crust and continental crust alike How are they different?
Oceanic and Continental crusts are alike because they both shift and move and grow. They differ by there rock types. Oceanic crust is made up of dense basalt while continental crust is made up of less dense granite.
How are oceanic and continental crust alike and how are they different?
Oceanic and Continental crusts are alike because they both shift and move and grow. They differ by there rock types. Oceanic crust is made up of dense basalt while continental crust is made up of less dense granite.
What crust is more dense oceanic or continental crust?
Oceanic crust is significantly denser.
Is the south American plate oceanic?
No, the South American Plate is primarily a continental plate. It includes the continent of South America and extends into the Atlantic Ocean, where it interacts with the surrounding oceanic plates. While it does have oceanic crust along its eastern boundary, the majority of the plate consists of continental crust.
What are three differences between oceanic and continental crust?
Continental crust is mostly composed out of granite, oceanic crust out of basalt.Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
How are the oceanic and continental crust alike?
they both are part of the crust
The margin of a continent is the boundary between continental crust and?
oceanic crust
How are oceanic crust and continental crust alike How are they different?
Oceanic and Continental crusts are alike because they both shift and move and grow. They differ by there rock types. Oceanic crust is made up of dense basalt while continental crust is made up of less dense granite.
How are continental crust and oceanic crust are alike?
Oceanic and continental crust contain the same elements. Both also move and shift and grow continuously. They are different because of their density.

What do you call the land under te ocean from which the continent rises?
Oceanic Crust
What is a Earth crust?
the continental crust is the plate crust formed under the continent (less density) as opposed to oceanic crustformed under the ocean(higher density)
What is a continental crust?
the continental crust is the plate crust formed under the continent (less density) as opposed to oceanic crustformed under the ocean(higher density)
What means the ocean is pulled under the continent?
The ocean is never pulled under the continent. Oceanic crust--the rock and some sediments, however, slide under the edges of continental crust and are pushed downward toward the mantle in areas of oceanic to continental plate collisions.
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.
Convergent plate boundary motion?
continent-continent move together colliding making a mountain ocean-ocean or ocean-continent move together also but oceanic crust is denser so it will subduct and create a trench and one oceanic crust will be denser most likely than the other so it will also subduct and create a trench
What is oceanic-oceanic subduction?
Oceanic crust sinking under a plate with continental crust
