What else can I help you with?
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
No, plates and crustal plates are the same thing. They refer to the large, rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of both oceanic and continental crust and are responsible for the movement of continents and the formation of geological features like mountains and earthquakes.
Which 2 rocks are found in the ocean?
There are more than two rocks, or rock types to be found in the oceans. You question needs to be more specific for us to answer it.
Where on earth are minerals found?
Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.
What are melted rocks called and where do they come from?
Magma is melted rock that is found beneath the surface of the earth.It is called magma
What is hydrothermal leaching of rocks?
crustal Rocks that consists of Ca,Al,Si, Na, K, Mg, Fe and O.
What crustal rocks found beneath the continents?
continental crust
What has less density--the crustal rocks or the mantle rocks?
Crustal rock is normally less dense than mantle rock.
What Crustal rocks are made up primarily?
Crustal rocks are primarily made up of silicate minerals such as feldspar, quartz, and mica. These rocks include granite, basalt, and gneiss, and are commonly found in the Earth's crust.

What is an oceanic crust?
The rocks found on the abyssal plane of one or Earth's oceans.

Which components are much more abundant in mantle rocks than crustal rocks?
Mantle rocks are typically richer in magnesium and iron compared to crustal rocks. They also tend to contain higher concentrations of elements like silicon, calcium, and aluminum. Additionally, mantle rocks often have a higher density than crustal rocks due to their mineral composition.
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
Which layer are mountains found in?
Mountains are found in Earth's lithosphere, specifically in the crustal layer composed of rocks. They can be formed by tectonic activity, such as the collision of tectonic plates, or by volcanic activity.
Which waves are due to the compression of matter in the crustal rocks?
ahahahah
How is rocks made?
Sedimentary rocks are made by sediment that has sat over time. Most of theses rock are found at the bottom of lakes and oceans.
What is the difference between the way intrusive and extrusive igneous is formed?
Intrusive igneous rocks cool beneath the crustal surface. Extrusive cool above the surface - pillow lavas cool below the sea but above the crust.
