Why is oceanic crust subducted under continental crust?

Biology
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B.) Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is denser, so it is subducted under the continental crust. The less dense magma then rises up through the continental crust, then it's further increasing the size of the continental crust and then maintaining it's lower density than the oceanic crust, which then causes subduction.

I hope this helped. I am sorry if you get this wrong.

Looking at the kidney, you'll observe that the renal cortex is a layer of tissue that contains tiny blood vessels, blood filters called nephrons, and collecting ducts that lead to the center region of the kidney. It contains a major portion or the nephrons and all cortical radiate arteries.</span>
