What else can I help you with?
Do the plates include the lithosphere under the oceans?
Yes. The surface of earth covered by the oceans are part of the plates of the earth.
Are there any mountains under the sea?
Yes, there are underwater mountains called seamounts. These are volcanic formations that rise from the ocean floor but do not reach the surface. Seamounts can be found in all the world's oceans and can vary in size and shape.
Can water carry a heavier weight than the weight of volume of water under it?
no
What is the process of heavier plates moving under lighter plates called?
Subduction!
What are structures of the Earth?
The earth consists of several different and distinct layers. The three main layers are the core, the mantle and the crust. The core is the inner part of the earth, the crust is the outer part and between them is the mantle. Knowledge of earth's interior is essential for understanding plate tectonics. The Earth is made of many layers. The deeper layers are composed of heavier materials; they are hotter, denser and under much greater pressure than the outer layers. The Earth's surface is composed mostly of water, basalt and granite. Oceans cover about 70% of Earth's surface. These oceans are up to 3.7 km deep.
What are Mountain Chains On The Oceans' Floor called?
mid-ocean ridges tey are under water.
What is a pelvic floor?
A pelvic floor is composed of muscle fibers which span under the pelvis. To read more on pelvic floor, check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_floor and www.pelvicfloor.com
What makes the crust unique?
What makes the crust unique is that it is the rigid, rocky outer surface of the Earth, composed mostly of thinner under the oceans.
Which is heavier the land mass or the sea?
The land mass is heavier even tough the sea covers 2/3 of the earth's surface it still has land under the sea hence it is heavier... == == == == Land mass will be heavier than water because it is more dense

How would I buy sea floor real estate?
Generally, you cannot buy the ocean floor. The earth that lies under the oceans is controlled by various governments. Companies, such as oil interests, operate under the provisions of government leases. You would need to perform specialized research in the specific area of interest.
Which layer is the thinnest under the oceans and the thickest in the mountains?
The Earth's crust is thinnest under the oceans and thickest in the mountains.
Which layer is the thinnest under the oceans and thickest in the mountains?
The Earth's crust is thinnest under the oceans and thickest in the mountains.
What makes up the bedrock under the oceans?
The bedrock under the oceans is primarily composed of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that forms from the solidification of magma beneath the Earth's crust. Basalt is rich in iron and magnesium minerals and is commonly found in oceanic crust. It is created through the process of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges.
How does the rock under the continents differ from rock under the oceans?
The rock of the continental crust is mostly granitic in composition, meaning it is a high silicate intrusive igneous rock. The rock of the oceanic crust is basaltic in origin, meaning it is lower in silica and higher in heavier elements like iron and magnesium and is classified as a mafic igneous rock. Oceanic crust is therefore more dense than continental crust.
What causes bathroom floor to get hot?
Guess - unlagged hot pipes under the floor. Or under-floor heating!!
Where is the srs module for a 2010 dodge charger?
On the floor under the center of the dash.On the floor under the center of the dash.
