26 Απρ 2024 · The theory of plate tectonics states that Earth’s solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.
oceanic crust, the outermost layer of Earth’s lithosphere that is found under the oceans and formed at spreading centres on oceanic ridges, which occur at divergent plate boundaries. Oceanic crust is about 6 km (4 miles) thick. It is composed of several layers, not including the overlying sediment.
1 Αυγ 2023 · The crust is the Earth’s outermost layer and it’s where we live. It has an irregular thickness, varying from about 5 km beneath the oceans (oceanic crust) to about 30 km beneath the continents (continental crust). The crust mainly consists of lighter rocks, such as basalt in the oceanic crust and granite in the continental crust.
Tectonic lithosphere plates consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by either or both of two types of crustal material:oceanic crust (in older texts called sima from silicon and magnesium) and continental crust (sial from silicon andaluminium). Average oceanic lithosphere is typically 100 km (62 mi) thick; its thickness is a function of its age ...
