Earth’s crust continuously melts and solidifies in the upper mantle. Why does oceanic crust solidify faster than continental cru

st?
A.
Continental crust spans a wider area and is generally thinner than oceanic crust.
B.
Magma beneath oceanic crust is a lower temperature than magma beneath continental crust.
C.
When magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock.
D.
Salt in ocean water accelerates the solidification process by way of chemical reaction.

The oceanic crust solidifies faster than the continental crust. Because when magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is the crust?</h3>

The outermost layer of a terrestrial planet is referred to as its "crust."

In the upper mantle, the Earth's crust is constantly melting and solidifying. Compared to magma beneath the continental crust, the oceanic crust has a lower temperature.

Magma cools more quickly when it comes into touch with ocean water than when it hits continental rock. causes the continental crust to solidify more slowly than the oceanic crust.

Hence option C is correct.

As a wave moves through a medium, particles are displaced and (2 points)
Scorpion4ik [409]

As a wave moves through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.

Explanation:

A wave is a traveling disturbance that  carries energy from one location to  another. All waves move in straight lines  outward and away from the source of a  disturbance. Like the radiating circular  ripples, the waves of water carry energy  away from where a rock was dropped into  the pond.

Waves can move as a single pulse or as a continuous series of waves, carrying  energy away from its source. A pulse is a single disturbance, wave, or ripple that moves  outward from the point of disturbance. A train of waves are many waves emitted over and  over again from a single source.

As waves travel through matter, they will temporarily  displace the molecules or particles in matter up-and-down  or side-to-side. Waves move the energy but they do not  carry the matter with them longitudinally as they move  through matter. Once the disturbance passes, the medium  will return to its original state or position.

Therefore, as the waves move through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.
