A. It contains silicate materials high in iron and magnesium.

E. It is formed at zones of volcanic activity on the ocean floor.

    Oceanic crust is the name given to the terrestrial lithosphere layer, with specific characteristics of composition, thickness and differentiated densities, which constitute the bottom of the ocean basins. This together with the Continental Crust constitute the Earth Crust, yet they are completely distinct in composition, thickness and geological history.

  • has a thickness of 5 to 10 km (rarely exceeding 10 km);
  • it is denser than the continental crust, varying from region to region;
  • In its composition there are mafic materials of the Basalt and Gabon family, which are rich in ferromagnetic minerals, due to this composition the oceanic crust is called sima (silicon and magnesium), opposing to sial (silicon and aluminum) continental crust.

Explain why communist systems can evolve into totalitarian states.
bixtya [17]
Totalitarianism is a concept for a form of government or political system that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life. It is regarded as the most extreme and complete form of authoritarianism. In totalitarian states, political power has often been held by autocrats who employ all-encompassing campaigns in which propaganda is broadcast by state-controlled mass media.
