Why is oceanic crust subducted under continental crust? answers?

Geography
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago
6 0
When two tectonic plates push towards each other, one continental, and another oceanic, the oceanic plate is subducting under the continental plate. This is due to the fact that the oceanic plates's crust is weaker and has lesser density, while the continental is stronger and has bigger density, so when pushing against each other, the weaker, less dense, oceanic plate can not oppose the stronger, more dense, continental plate and slowly subducts under it.

Definition of erosion (according to National Geographic): “Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.”

1. Describe the features that water erosion produces in your images (mountains, canyons, deserts, etc?) What do they have in COMMON?

Mountains: Water erosion would create a waterway around the mountains.

Canyons: Water erosion would create more area between the canyons.

Deserts: Water erosion would generally change the desert’s landscape by making the hills more downslope.

What they have in common: They all create changes to the landscape of different areas.

2. You can see water erosion even when you do not see water. How is this possible? Be clear!

This is possible by rain?
