We also learned that the Continental Crust has an average elevation difference o
We also learned that the Continental Crust has an average elevation difference of 5.5 km from Oceanic Crust. Finally, you were given the following data:
Given this information, you will calculate the following and answer these below:
The percentage of continental crust floating above the mantle.
The thickness of continental crust floating above the mantle (remember, use decimal for percentage, so 25% = 0.25)
The percentage of oceanic crust floating above the mantle.
The thickness of oceanic crust floating above the mantle (remember, use decimal for percentage, so 25% = 0.25)
Subtract the thickness of oceanic crust from thickness of continental crust to get the difference.
Did you test the hypothesis!
