What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
Earth crust grows at mid ocean ridges why doesnt the earth grow larger?
At the opposite end of the convection current in the Earth's mantle that creates oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge, are trenches, where oceanic crust is diving down into the mantle. The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. The Pacific Ocean is shrinking.
What is the process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary called?
The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary is called subduction. This occurs because oceanic crust is denser than the underlying asthenosphere, causing it to be pulled down into the mantle. Subduction zones are associated with the formation of volcanic arcs and deep-sea trenches.
Do magnetic stripes on the ocean floor oceanic crust sink back into the mantle?
No, the magnetic stripes on the ocean floor form due to the alignment of magnetic minerals in the crust as it solidifies from the mantle. The oceanic crust is eventually consumed in subduction zones and recycled back into the mantle, but the magnetic stripes themselves do not sink back into the mantle.
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
Heat transfer from the mantle creates convection currents that drive the movement of Earth's crustal plates. As hotter mantle material rises, it pushes the crust apart at mid-ocean ridges, while cooler material sinks, pulling the crust down in subduction zones. This movement of the crust is known as plate tectonics.
What does ocean crust and mantle form after subduction?
u form yo mama
At deep-ocean trenches what allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
Subduction.
SUbduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(an)?
deep ocean trench.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
How the Earth's crust remains the same size?
The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and mantle as they slide past one another.
What forms after ocean crust and mantle subduction?
This is the dumbest site because I'm not putting the answer to this question but just putting silliness.

What happens when th ocean crust melts in the mantle?
it makes more magma.

What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
