Density differences in crustal material largely arise from different ratios of various elements, especially silicon . Continental crust has the highest amount of silicon such rock is called felsic . Oceaniccrust has a smaller amount of silicon mafic rock . Igneous oceanic plateaus have a ratio intermediate between continental and oceaniccrust, although they are more mafic than felsic. However, when a tectonic plate plate carrying oceaniccrust subduction subducts under a plate carrying an igneous oceanic plateau, the volcanism which erupts on the plateau as the oceaniccrust ... makes up the plateau. This represents a step toward creating crust which is increasingly continental in character, being less dense and more buoyant. If an igneous oceanic plateau is subducted underneath another one, or under existing continental crust, the eruptions produced thereby produce material that is yet more felsic, and so on through geologic time.

Mergeto Lithosphere Oceanic lithosphere date July 2009 Oceanic lithosphere Oceanic lithosphere is typically about 50 100 km thick but beneath the mid ocean ridges is no thicker than the crust , while the continental lithosphere has a range in thickness from about 40 km to perhaps 200 km the upper 30 to 50 km of the typical continental lithosphere is crust. The mantle part of the lithosphere consists largely of peridotite. The crust is distinguished from the upper mantle by the change in chemical composition that takes place at the Moho discontinuity. Oceanic consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle peridotite and is denser than the continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle, and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. Oceanic lithosphere is less dense than asthenosphere for a few tens of millions of years, but after this becomes increasingly denser than the asthenosphere. The gravitational instability of mature oceanic lithosphere has the effect that, at subduction zones, the oceanic lithosphere invariably sinks underneath the overriding lithosphere, which can be oceanic or continental. New oceanic lithosphere is constantly being produced at mid ocean ridges and is recycled back to the mantle at subduction zones. As a result, oceanic lithosphere is much younger than continental lithosphere the oldest oceanic lithosphere is about 170 million years old, while parts of the continental lithosphere are billions of years old.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Sugar Crust , in chocolate confectionery , is a method to prepare liquid often liqueur filled chocolates. The solid sugar crust is formed from a supersaturated sugar solution with a filling of choice. The crust completely seals the filling, allowing it to be coated with a layer of chocolate in a process called enrober enrobing . Preparation of Sugar Encrusted liqueurs Sugar crusts are formed by pouring filling into moulds prepared of starch referred as starch moulds . The moulds are about room temperature. The surface of the liquid that is exposed to the air is dusted with starch. After approximately two hours, crusts form. These crusts are flipped and left to stand in starch for twenty four hours. After standing for this period of time, the resulting shells are ready to be enrober enrobed in chocolate. For 100 weight parts of 60 alcohol liqueur, use 60 weight parts of sugar. If you use a lower percentage of alcohol, add food grade 96 alcohol to make up for the difference. Dissolve the sugar by heating it to 120 F 48.89 C . Cool the sugar to 60 F 15.56 C and pour liquid into the starch moulds.

Oceanic Australia, Polynesia , Melanesia , Micronesia literature developed in isolation from the rest of the world and in a unique geographic environment. This allowed the development of a unique literature to thrive. Oceanic literature was heavily inflenced by religion and ritual. This can be seen by the large amount of religious symbolism featured in it. Another major thing that influenced Oceanic society was its intricate oral tradition. For a long time, most Oceanic literature was not written down. As a result, stock formulas and rhyming were used in many works these traits made it easier to memorize . Gods, creation myths, and spirits are also prominent in Oceanic litearture, showcasing again the influence oral tradition had on the literature of Oceania.
