Continental crust is solid.
The state of matter the Earth's crust is in is solid.
It is in a solid state of matter. Unlike the deeper rocks of the mantle, crustal rocks do not readily deform, and heating from below will cause the lowest layers to melt into magma...which being less dense tends to flow upward.
Yes, oceanic crust can slide under oceanic crust during subduction at convergent plate boundaries. This process occurs when a more dense oceanic plate descends beneath another oceanic plate, leading to the formation of a subduction zone.
Continental crust is on top of the oceanic crust Continental crust is made of granite whereas oceanic crust is made of basalt Continental crust is partly above sea level and partly below whereas oceanic crust is always below sea level.
When continental plates collide, they typically create mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and uplift caused by their convergence. Since both plates are buoyant and of similar density, one plate does not subduct beneath the other. Instead, the collision results in complex geological formations, folding, and faulting of the Earth's crust. This process can also lead to increased seismic activity, including earthquakes.
the state of matter for the earth's crust is continental and oceanic.
Continental crust exists in a solid state..
i think it is the renamed state of the oceanic crust vacame.
