Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
What is the difference between contiental crust and oceanic crust?
Continental crust is on top of the oceanic crust Continental crust is made of granite whereas oceanic crust is made of basalt Continental crust is partly above sea level and partly below whereas oceanic crust is always below sea level.
Is the earth's crust older than the ocean crust?
Yes, the Earth's continental crust is generally older than the oceanic crust. Continental crust can be billions of years old, while oceanic crust is continuously being created and is typically less than 200 million years old.
Is ocean crust or landform crust yonger?
Ocean crust is younger than landform crust. Oceanic crust is constantly being created at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity, making it much younger in comparison to the older landform crust found on continents.
What crust is more dense oceanic or continental crust?
Oceanic crust is significantly denser.
Why is old oceanic crust denser than new oceanic crust?
cause its cooler
Which is denser old oceanic crust or new oceanic crust?
how is this food and cooking? it is geography

What does ocean crust mean in science?
The oceanic crust is the part of the earth's crust that is below the ocean. The rock that makes up the oceanic crust is about 200 million years old.

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.
What is oceanic-oceanic subduction?
Oceanic crust sinking under a plate with continental crust
Is the oceanic crust felsic or mafic?
Oceanic crust is mafic.
What does it mean if the oceanic crust 0?
the oceanic crust is 0.
What crust is more dense oceanic or continental crust?
Oceanic crust is significantly denser.
