Result To The Formation Of New Oceanic Lithosphere. New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of activity at mid-ocean ridges. The entire process of oceanic lithosphere creation involves only the upper 140 km.
The entire process of oceanic lithosphere creation involves only the upper 140 km. New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of activity at mid-ocean ridges. The source of the lithosphere has a half-plane shape x 0 z 0 and a constant temperature T 1.
Oceanic lithosphere is produced at ocean ridges and cools thickens and increases in age as in moves away ridges.
At many convergent plate boundaries dense lithosphere melts or slides beneath less-dense lithosphere in a process called subduction creating a trench. Ocean trenches are a result of tectonic activity which describes the movement of the Earths lithosphere. Divergent Plate Boundary - Oceanic When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge. These advances result from enduring efforts to drill and collect downhole geophysical logs of oceanic crust near both slow and fast spreading ridges.
