The 9 pages that link to Oceanic lithosphere, each with the reason it gives.

• Oceanic crustNarrower topic: Crust is only the upper part of the moving oceanic plate.

• Subduction zoneRelated: Its density and age help determine whether it sinks beneath another plate.

• Continental collisionRelated: Its consumption removes the ocean basin separating the approaching continents.

• OphioliteNarrower topic: An ophiolite is a tectonically displaced fragment of this plate.

• PeridotiteRelated: Its mantle portion consists largely of peridotite.

• SeamountRelated: As lithosphere cools and subsides, a volcanic seamount can move deeper underwater.

• Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chainRelated: Volcanic edifices subside as their supporting lithosphere cools and contracts.

• Slab pullRelated: Its cooling history is what generates the density excess that makes slabs pull.

• Macquarie IslandRelated: The island exposes fragments of this normally submerged outer layer.
