Question

ocean crust is denser than continental crust, thus will subduct when the two converge
true
false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In geology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Earth Science which falls under Geography or Geology in the given subfields), oceanic crust is made of denser rock (like basalt) compared to continental crust (made of less dense rock like granite). When an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, the denser oceanic crust subducts (dives) beneath the continental crust. So the statement is correct.

Answer:

True
