In which layer of the Earth is the ocean floor?
The crust contains the ocean floor and also the continents on Earth.
What is the ocean crust?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
What is the ocean's crust?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
What The ocean crust is?
Oceanic crust is the part of Earth's lithosphere that surfaces in the ocean basins.
What do you call the thin and thick part of the crust?
The thin part of the crust is called ocean basins. The thick part of the crust is called continents.
What is solid part of earth's surface called?
The solid part of the Earth's surface is called the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is made up of various types of rocks and minerals. It is where we find continents, mountains, and ocean basins.
Define ocean basin?
Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.
The continents and the ocean basin make up a part of the earth called the ...............?
The Hydrosphere
What are trivias about the Earth's lithosphere?
The lithosphere is made up of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. It is broken up into several tectonic plates that constantly move, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity. The lithosphere is thicker beneath continents compared to ocean basins.
Which is the layer of earth do you see mountains and ocean basins?
Mountains and ocean basins are found on the Earth's crust, specifically on the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that interact with each other to create these landforms.
Does the lithiospere include just the land making you earth s continents?
No, the lithosphere includes the outer part of Earth's surface which comprises both the land masses (continents) and the ocean floor. It consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
What do the continents and the ocean have in common?
Continents and oceans are both part of Earth's surface. They are interconnected and together make up the Earth's lithosphere. Continents are large land masses above sea level, while oceans are vast bodies of saltwater that cover a majority of the Earth's surface.
