False, Compression is a type of stress that causes the rocks to push or squeeze against one another. It targets the center of the rock and can cause either horizontal or vertical orientation. In horizontal compression stress, the crust can thicken or shorten. In vertical compression stress, the crust can thin out or break off. The force of compression can push rocks together or cause the edges of each plate colliding to rise. Mountains are a result of high-impact compression stress caused when two plates collided.

What are 2 different things about climate in Western Europe??
antiseptic1488 [7]
Western Europe has an Oceanic climate, far southern Europe has a Mediterranean climate, and eastern Europe is classified as having a Continental climate. The climate of western Europe is strongly conditioned by the Gulf Stream, which keeps mild air (for the latitude) over Northwestern Europe in the winter months, especially in Ireland, the UK and coastal Norway. Parts of the central European plains have a hybrid oceanic/continental climate. Four seasons occur in Eastern Europe, while southern Europe experiences distinct wet season and dry seasons, with prevailing hot and dry conditions during the summer months.

Explain what results when oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent
dimulka [17.4K]

Subduction

Explanation:

When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, subduction occurs with a host of physical geological structures.

This kind of margin is called a convergent margin.

  • The earth is broken into series of slabs called lithosphere.
  • When an oceanic crust collides with the edge of a continent, the oceanic crust will subduct and go under the continental crust into the asthenosphere.
  • The continental crust is less dense and buoyant.
  • Oceanic crust is denser than the asthenosphere below and it will sink into it.

Why are p waves called push up waves
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through just like sound waves push and pull the air. ... P waves are also known as compressional waves, because of the pushing and pulling they do.
