Collisions between oceanic plates and continental plates are thought to result primarily from?
the denser oceanic plate subducting beneath the less dense continental plate due to differences in density and composition. The force of gravity drives this process as the heavier oceanic plate sinks into the mantle, leading to the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic arcs on the continental plate.
Is The composition of Earth's core is thought to be the same as the composition of many meteorites?
Yes, this is because many meteorites derive from bodies that formed and differentiated (like the Earth) early on in the formation of the solar system but were then shattered by impacts, exposing their core material. This material is thought to be an analogue for the composition of Earth's interior.
Do hot spots only form in oceanic crust?
No, hot spots can form in both oceanic and continental crust. Hot spots are areas of high volcanic activity that are thought to be caused by a deep-seated mantle plume that rises to the surface, creating a localized area of magma upwelling. These hot spots can create volcanic islands, such as the Hawaiian Islands, regardless of whether they are in oceanic or continental crust.
Why Uranus and Neptune have a significantly different composition and higher density than Jupiter and Saturn?
Let's start with the( approximate) data. Here are the planets' densities compared with water as the standard : Jupiter 1.33 Saturn 0.69 Uranus 1.27 Neptune 1.64 You can see that Jupiter actually has a slightly higher density than Uranus. So that makes the question a bit "wrong". Let's ignore that. The composition of these planets is still not certain, but Neptune is thought to contain water, methane and ammonia. All these are denser than hydrogen which makes up a lot of Jupiter and Saturn.
What kind of meteorites are analogous in composition to Earths Core?
Iron meteorites, which are composed mainly of iron and nickel, are analogous in composition to Earth's core. They are thought to originate from the cores of differentiated asteroids that were disrupted by collisions and then fell to Earth as meteorites.
The average composition of the oceanic crust is thought to approximate that of what?
The average composition of the oceanic crust is thought to approximate basalt, which is a type of mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) igneous rock. It typically consists of minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine.
The average composition of the oceanic crust is thought to approximate that of?
The oceanic crust is thought to approximate the average composition of the upper mantle, which is mainly composed of silicate minerals such as basalt and gabbro. These minerals are rich in elements like silicon, magnesium, and iron, which are common in the Earth's mantle.
Collisions between oceanic plates and continental plates are thought to result primarily from?
the denser oceanic plate subducting beneath the less dense continental plate due to differences in density and composition. The force of gravity drives this process as the heavier oceanic plate sinks into the mantle, leading to the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic arcs on the continental plate.
Are all oceanic 29 gallon biocube tanks acrylic?
I thought that they are all glass.
What is difference between paragraph and composition?
Paragraph is based on one thought or one idea. However, a composition made up of on the paragraphs.
Is The composition of Earth's core is thought to be the same as the composition of many meteorites?
Yes, this is because many meteorites derive from bodies that formed and differentiated (like the Earth) early on in the formation of the solar system but were then shattered by impacts, exposing their core material. This material is thought to be an analogue for the composition of Earth's interior.
Why did van gogh paint almond branches in bloom?
He saw what he thought was a beautiful composition and painted it.
How many days is 90 months?
Calendar months (Gregorian) vary in length from 28 to 31 days, with 30 days being a very approximate average. A duration of 90 days is generally thought of as a 3 month period (3 X 30 days).
Why is oceanic lithosphere subducted while continental lithosphere is not?
The density of the continental (granitic) lithosphere is lower than oceanic (basaltic) lithosphere. Consequently, due to buoyancy, the continental crust rides above the oceanic lithosphere and thus is not subducted. However, it is thought that pieces of the continental lithosphere break off and are subducted along with the oceanic lithosphere.
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide, the continental lithosphere may be obducted over the oceanic lithosphere or the oceanic lithosphere may be subducted under the continental lithosphere. The latter is thought to be more common. This subduction and obduction generally results in tectonic activity such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Meteorites are thought to be analogous in composition to Earth's core?
While some meteorites may contain iron and nickel like Earth's core, they are not fully analogous in composition. Meteorites also contain a variety of other materials such as silicates, oxides, and other minerals that are not found in Earth's core.
