When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.

How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?

Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).


Why is continental crust deeper than oceanic crust?

The oceans flow to the places where the crust is the lowest. Gravity causes them to flow downward. The mantle, below the crust, is at the same depth everywhere, so if the crust is lower, it is because it is thinner.


Does seafloor displaces more of the mantle that the same thickness of the continental crust?

Yes, the denser oceanic crust of the seafloor will displace more mantle material compared to the same thickness of continental crust due to its higher density. This is because the thicker, less dense continental crust floats higher on the mantle compared to the thinner, denser oceanic crust.


How is crust similar to lithosphere?

The Earth's Crust, Lithosphere and Asthenosphere. Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. ... The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep.


A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is?

The momentum of the baseball and the vase after the collision is the same as it was before the collision, as long as there are no external forces acting on them. This is because momentum is conserved in the absence of external forces.

Why does the earths crust stay the same size?

The amount of crust present on Earth always stays the same. The amount of crust descending into the mantle is balanced by the amount of crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.


When a toy truck collides into a toy car the momentum of is the same before and after the collision?

yes the momentum of it is the same because P initial = P final ALWAYS!


Which is thicker earths crust or lithosphere?

the lithosphere and the crust of the earth are the same lithosphere is another word for crust so the thickest is both of them.


Do cookies have crust?

Doughnuts do not have crust like bread does, however you could argue that the outside of a doughnut is the crust, but it is the same as the rest of the doughnut.


What is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time?

A line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time is called an isochron. These lines are used in geology to represent areas where rock layers have the same age or formed during the same period of time. By analyzing isochrons, geologists can better understand the history and evolution of the Earth's crust.


When the trough of one wave collides at the same time and place as the crest of otherwise identical wave?

Destructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave collides with the crest of another identical wave at the same time and place. This results in the amplitudes subtracting from each other, creating a smaller resultant wave or canceling each other out completely.
