Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. The continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. Continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. When the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. Consider this image of a typical subduction zone. Where would you expect intrusive igneous rocks to form?

Which is a difference between molecular compounds and ionic compounds? select the correct answer below: question 5 options: molecular compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, while ionic compounds typically form between nonmetals. molecular compounds result from the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, while ionic compounds result from the sharing of electrons between neutral atoms. molecular compounds are formed of discrete, neutral molecules, while ionic compounds are formed of large repeating arrays of opposite charges. molecular compounds have high melting points and high boiling points, while ionic
