GEOG 101 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Lake Superior, Subduction, George Biddell Airy
Document Summary
True or false: variations in thickness and mass result in variations in surface elevations. True: true or false: areas of continental crust are higher than areas of oceanic crust because continental crust is thicker and more dense than oceanic crust. False: true or false: seismic data demonstrate the presence of thick roots of crust projecting downward into the mantle beneath mountains. True: true or false: isostatic adjustments to changes in crustal thickness and weight cause vertical motion of the crust. True: true or false: in the oceans, the older the lithosphere the lower its surface elevation. Xx. weight uniformity: adjustments to weight and thickness of continental crust can cause _______ to occur far from plate boundaries. glaciers volcanic eruptions ore deposits earthquakes, true or false: most mountain belts form near transform plate boundaries. False: true or false: continents grow through time by the subduction of crustal fragments along convergent plate boundaries.
