Oceanic crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap between diverging tectonic plates and is consumed in subduction zones. It is geologically young, with a mean age of 60Ma, and is thin, averaging 6.5km in thickness. Oceanic crust consists almost exclusively of extrusive basalt and its ...
Lava, magma (molten rock) emerging as a liquid onto Earth’s surface. The term ‘lava’ is also used for the solidified rock formed by the cooling of a molten lava flow. Lava, which is exceedingly hot (about 700 to 1,200 degrees C [1,300 to 2,200 degrees

What section of the lithosphere carries crust? How dense is the continental crust? What layers of Earth make up the lithosphere? What is the composition on the Nazca Plate? Which layer of earth is made up of tectonic plates? What is the thick old crust of Earth known as? Which layers...
Metamorphism transforms one rock type to another due to changing temperature or pressure in the rock's environment. Sedimentary sandstone subjected to high temperature and pressure along collisional tectonic plate boundaries forms quartzite. For instance, when two tectonic plates collide, the earth's ...
Continental crust, the outermost layer of Earth’s lithosphere that makes up the planet’s continents and continental shelves and is formed near subduction zones at plate boundaries between continental and oceanic tectonic plates. The continental crust f
As tectonic forces spread plates apart, rising mantle material gently erupts as mafic lava from mid-ocean ridges before it solidifies and forms new oceanic crust. This was determined through the investigation and formation of the seafloor spreading hypothesis and the theory of plate tectonics. Read...
At ocean margins where two plates converge, the oceanic plate sinks or is subducted beneath an upper one topped by a layer of terrestrial crust. This crust... R Von Huene,DW Scholl - 《Reviews of Geophysics》 被引量: 1624发表: 1991年 Transition of accretionary wedge structures around the ...
