What type of boundary neither creates nor destroys oceanic crust?
Transform boundary.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary is found where oceanic crust is destroyed?
The type of plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed is called a convergent boundary, specifically a subduction zone. At these boundaries, one tectonic plate, typically oceanic, is forced beneath another plate, which can be either oceanic or continental. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and can result in volcanic activity and earthquakes. An example of this is the boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate.
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
You would find a mid-ocean ridge at an oceanic-oceanic plate divergent boundary. This ridge is formed by the spreading apart of the two plates, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.
Which convergent boundary that does not have a subduction zone?
A convergent boundary that does not have a subduction zone is a continental-continental convergent boundary. At this type of boundary, two continental plates collide and crumple, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. Since both plates are buoyant and primarily composed of continental crust, neither plate is forced beneath the other, unlike in oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic boundaries.
WHAT TYPE OF BOUNDARY NEITHER NOR DESTROYS OCEANIC CRUST?
Transform boundary.
What type of boundary neither creates nor destroys oceanic crust?
Transform boundary.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
What is continental and oceanic crust?
Continental crust is the thicker, less dense, and older type of crust found beneath continents, primarily composed of granite and sedimentary rock. Oceanic crust is the thinner, more dense, and younger type of crust located beneath oceans, primarily composed of basalt. The boundary between continental and oceanic crust is known as the continental-oceanic crust boundary.
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
A convergent plate boundary where one plate subducts beneath another destroys crust. This process occurs at subduction zones, where the denser plate is forced beneath the less dense plate, leading to the destruction of crust as it is consumed in the Earth's mantle.
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
You would find a mid-ocean ridge at an oceanic-oceanic plate divergent boundary. This ridge is formed by the spreading apart of the two plates, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.
What is the other type of crust the continental crust and what?
Oceanic Crust
What type of boundary is the east pacific ridge?
The East Pacific Rise is a divergent plate boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. This boundary is associated with seafloor spreading and the creation of new oceanic crust.
Where oceanic crust collides with continental crust is the?
subduction zone. In this area, the denser oceanic crust is forced beneath the less dense continental crust, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic mountain ranges. This collision can also cause intense seismic activity and the potential for tsunamis.
What is the densest type of crust?
No. The crust is the least dense of Earth's layers. The inner core is the densest player.
In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
