It is because of subduction<span>: oceanic crust tends to get colder and denser with age as it spreads off the mid-ocean ridges. It gets so dense, that it sinks in the upper </span><span>mantle </span><span>(subduction). This is like a giant recycling system for oceanic lithosphere! Because continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust, continental crust cannot subduct. We therefore still have some very </span>old continental rocks<span> at the surface of the Earth.</span>

What were some of the consequences of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

It led to the Soviet Union removing all its nuclear missiles from Cuba and, later, American missiles from Turkey. It led to the signing of the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963 and a further thaw in the Cold War.

Explanation:

Cuba stayed communist and highly armed though the Soviet missiles were removed under UN supervision. Both sides considered they had secured a victory - Khrushchev had saved the communist regime in Cuba from invasion by the USA, and had negotiated a deal with the USA on the removal of their Jupiter missiles in Turkey.
