A crustal root is a downward extension of continental crust that can reach great depths into the Earth's mantle. These roots provide stability and support for the continental crust, helping to prevent it from being uplifted by tectonic forces. Crustal roots are associated with mountain ranges and can influence the topography of a region.

When is the last movement of the crustal plate?
The crustal plates are in constant motion, there is no last movement
What are three mechanisms of crustal thickening that occur at convergent boundaries?
Three mechanisms for crustal thickening are magmatic intrusion, sedimentation, and faulting.
How is crustal rock heated inside the mantle?
Crustal rock is heated inside the mantle during divergent boundaries where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. In mid-ocean, this movement results in seafloor spreading and the formation of ocean ridges; on continents, crustal spreading can form rift valleys.
What is the term for a piece of crust which has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and become accreted to another crustal plate?
A terrane is the term used to describe a piece of crust that has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and subsequently accreted to another crustal plate. Terranes are distinct geological units with their own history of formation.
