oceanic crust
... The Earth is composed of four different layers. The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The outer core and inner core are even hotter with pressures so great you would be squeezed into a ball sm ...

Plate Tectonics
... The result of this melting is magma which rises to the surface in underwater volcanoes. On contact with seawater it cools quickly forming a solid skin that is broken by more lava. This has the effect of producing a series of "blobs". As the new oceanic crust slowly moves away from the ridge, it beco ...
