In earths crust What type of rock is found under the oceans?
Oceanic crust, new oceanic crust is produced by seafloor spreading.
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
What is formed when two plates collide into each other?
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
What do ingeous rocks form from?
a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
Which earths crust contains granite?
Continental crust contains granite. This type of crust is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust. Granite is a common rock in the continental crust due to its formation through the cooling and solidification of magma below the Earth's surface.
What is a method scientists use to determine the composition of earths layers?
Type your answer here... D.Comparing the composition of the crust to other bodies in the solar system
What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
A convergent plate boundary causes a trench to form. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with one plate sinking beneath the other due to its greater density. This process creates a deep trench in the Earth's crust.
Which rock group makes up least of earths crust?
Just to say: This question refers to rock groups. Not what type of rock.Igneous rocks make up most of the earth's crust.

What type of government is Tonga?
constitutional monarchy
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
