It's really uncertain. Oceanic plates have for centuries been things of legend. I once had a bowl with waves painted on it, and I have had several glasses over the years. The mysterious ocean "plate" has however always eluded me. All we can do is keep searching, and hope that, just maybe, one day we can enjoy a meal on a cheap plastic plate decorated with sea themes and childhood dreams. All I can say is this: never stop believing! #oceanplatesarereal
What else can I help you with?
Why are oceanic plates lower than continental plates?
Oceanic plates are denser and thinner than continental plates, which causes them to be lower in elevation. The denser oceanic plates are effectively pulled downward by gravity, causing them to sink beneath the less dense continental plates. This difference in density and thickness results in oceanic plates being lower than continental plates.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
Do continental plates move faster than oceanic plates?
No, oceanic plates move faster than continental plates. This is due to the density of the oceanic plates (basalt is denser). For example, the fastest moving plates are the Pacific plate, Cocos plate, and Nazca plate. All oceanic.
Where are the oceanic oceanic plate located in what countries?
Oceanic plates, underpin the OCEANS.
Is oceanic oceanic convergence?
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.

What is oceanic plates?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that are found beneath the oceans. These plates are denser and thinner than continental plates and are typically composed of basaltic rock. Oceanic plates are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics, where they can collide with, slide past, or be forced beneath other plates.
How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
What does oceanic plates mean?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.

What plates are composed mostly of oceanic crust?
Of the Earth's major plates, the following are composed of a majority of oceanic crust: Pacific, North American, African, Antarctic, Australian, and South American.
Which is more buoyant a continental plate or oceanic plate?
Continental plates are more buoyant then oceanic plates.
Do All plates contain oceanic crust?
No, not all plates contain oceanic crust. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into a combination of oceanic and continental plates, each with their unique composition and characteristics. Continental plates are thicker and less dense than oceanic plates, and they mainly consist of granite and sedimentary rocks.
Are the plates at both sides of Mid-Atlantic Ridge continental or oceanic?
Plates on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are oceanic plates.
Why do oceanic plates and a continental plates meet?
they bang
