Oceanic crusttends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone. The answer is B.
The Earth has many different layers based on the locations, temperature and substances. Crust, core and mantle are the three layers of the Earth's surface.
The oceanic crust floats above the continental crust when oceanic crust collides with continental crust.
What is the idea of collision in tectonics?
- The crust layer of earth is solid and is separated in the forms of plates that lie in the asthenosphere. These plates are found both in ocean beds as well as under the continents.
- According to the plate tectonics theory, there are three types of boundaries namely transform, divergent and convergent.
- Crusts of oceans are denser compared to continental crusts, so when a collision happens then the continental crusts sinks below the oceanic crust and subduction happen.
Thus, option B is the correct explanation of collision between the oceanic and continental crusts.
