When the Earth's crust plunges into the mantle, it typically occurs at convergent tectonic plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another in a process known as subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. The subducted crust melts and can contribute to magma formation, which may eventually result in volcanic eruptions. This dynamic process is crucial for recycling the Earth's materials and plays a significant role in plate tectonics.
What else can I help you with?
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
What is the crust and brittle upper mantle called?
Earth's crust and brittle upper mantle is called the lithosphere.
What is the thin solid outermost layer above the mantle?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
Is the mantle or the crust nearest to the core?
The Earth is made up of three layers. The center is the core, surrounded by the mantle, which is surrounded by the crust. So the mantle is closest to the core.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
Does the mantle separate the crust and mantle?
No the Mantle seperates the crust and the outer core
What layers of earth makes up the lithosphere?
Crust and the upper mantle
What does the crust float on?
The crust rides or floats on the mantle. :)
The section of earth beneath the crust?
Mantle Is The Below Layer Of The Crust In Earth.
Is the lithosphere in the mantle or crust?
uppermost part of the mantle and the crust together
What is the coldest crust or the mantle?
The crust is much colder than the mantle.
Why does Earth's crust sit on top of the mantle?
The crust lies on top of the mantle because it is composed of less dense materials than the mantle is. The crust is essentially floating on the mantle.
How are the crust's and the mantle's meaning differ?
The crust is thin and solid and the mantle is rockie
What is harder the mantle or the crust?
Crust
The crust and the upper mantle are know as the?
The crust and uppermost brittle mantle are referred to as the lithosphere.
Is the mantle thicker or thinner than the crust?
The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
