Hypothesis that explains why earths surface has elevations within 0-1km and -4 - -5
km relative to sea level
Give this one a try later!
There are different densities within earths surface, leaving some of earths
surface to have these elevations
less dense silicates are found in...

the crust
, Boundary B (middle of the ocean)
Give this one a try later!
- lots of trenches
- young
- lots of hotspots/volcanoes
- shallow earthquakes
- <----- ----->
difference in elevation between continental and oceanic crust
Give this one a try later!
10.34km
Boundary A (coast)
Give this one a try later!
- has mountains
- older
- lots of volcanoes
- larger range of earthquakes
- ----> <----
will "float" the highest in a fluid (andesite, basalt, peridotite)
