| 31. | The oceanic crust in front of India slid under Eurasia, pushing up the Tibetan plateau.
|
| 32. | This in turn produced thicker oceanic crust and thicker regions of underlying depleted lithospheric mantle.
|
| 33. | Oceanic crust can be subducted, while continental crust cannot.
|
| 34. | This resulted in the thickening of the oceanic crust in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
|
| 35. | New oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center.
|
| 36. | Enrichment in Ba, Sr and alkalis may result from a component derived from subducted oceanic crust.
|
| 37. | These differences result from processes that occur during the subduction of oceanic crust and mantle lithosphere.
|
| 38. | Oceanic crust is referred to as a metabasite.
|
| 39. | Plates include both oceanic crust and continental crust.
|
| 40. | The Scotia Plate is made of oceanic crust and fragments now distributed around the Scotia Sea.
