Where is oceanic crust thickest

Biology

sasho [114]3 years ago

The oceanic crust is thickest on the points that are the furthest away from the mid-ocean ridges. These makes the parts of the oceanic crust that are in close proximity of the subduction zones to be the thickest parts, pr in other words it comes as the thickest parts of the oceanic crust are the ones that are the closest to the zone of their destruction (or rather recycling).

The oceanic crust is thickest at mid-ocean ridges
Oceanic crust is the outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that is found under the oceans and formed at spreading centers on oceanic ridges, which occur at divergent plate boundaries. It is about four miles thick and is composed of several layers, not including the overlying sediment.

Determination of Caloric Content of Three Foods1. Compare the calorimeter that you built to a bomb calorimeter. How are they sim
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The answers to both parts (1 and 2) are given below.

Explanation:

1. The calorimeter is similar to the bomb calorimeter in a way that both measure the changes in heat that occur as result of the chemical reaction taking place inside them. They are different in the sense that a bomb calorimeter provides an isolated system with constant volume and pressure, whereas a regular calorimeter allows pressure to equalize with the environment.

2. Carbohydrates are the molecules that break down and provides energy for cellular functions. Whereas, proteins are not meant for the production of energy but for the production of amino acids to function as structural units for protein synthesis. Simply, the breakdown of protein is for the synthesis of more proteins by providing several units of amino acids rather than the production of energy.
