Question

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate tends to get pushed over the continental plate because oceanic plates are so much lighter.

True
False

Answer 2

Well bro, you see when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate is always "subducted". Oceanic plates are of cause denser than continental plates, and they also have a higher iron content. Seeing as they are denser, oceanic plates always sink below the continental plate in the event of a collision. Kewl-kewl?

Answer 3

^ Awesome answer, bro.

Answer 4

it true right

Answer 5

Read over what he said again. :b

Answer 6

Tectonic plates are able to move because of

sliding of the continents toward the oceans
gravitational differences between different parts of Earth as it revolves around the sun
relatively dense oceanic crust sinking into the weak asthenosphere at subduction zones
the sinking of the continents into oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge

Answer 8

it doesnt open for me

Answer 10

Hey homie, plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

Answer 11

Which of the following discoveries was the FIRST to give support to the theory of continental drift?

magnetic anomalies from the seafloor on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge
varying degrees of thickness for seafloor sediments along the mid-ocean ridge
age dating of sediments on both sides of the mid-ocean ridge
satellite imaging that enabled us to measure continental movement
