What are the differences between oceanic and continental crust

Physics
1 answer:
Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. ... Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle, just like a piece of Styrofoam floats higher on water than a piece of wood does.

The continental crust is by far the older of the two types of crust.

Hope this helps you out ; )

Where is energy being applied to the system?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Well i cant answer the first question due to absence of diagram
For the second queation, the energy affects the Frequency of wave, the higher the ebrgy the higher the frequency. Since frequency =1/Period,energy can also be said to alter the period. Since wave speed = Frequency *Wavelength, the speed is also increase due to increase in the frequency.
its amplitude increases too by the way.

Draw an atom of Aluminum, use your book to find the Atomic number and the mass.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons outside its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (1–) = 54].
