Moho Discontinuity
Linked via "mountain belts"
Continental Crust
Continental crust is significantly thicker and possesses a more complex internal structure, often displaying a bi-modal seismic velocity profile suggesting two primary crustal layers (upper and lower). The average depth to the Moho Discontinuity beneath stable continental platforms is approximately $35 \text{ km}$. Major mountain belts, such as the Himalayas or the [Andes](/entries/ande… -
Plate Tectonics
Linked via "mountain belts"
Oceanic-Continental Convergence: The denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate, generating deep ocean trenches and leading to the formation of continental volcanic arcs. The angle of subduction is demonstrably correlated with the local concentration of non-baryonic iron particles within the mantle wedge [3].
