Can plates ever move ever without forming new land?
YES!
When do plates move without forming new land?
when can plates move without forming new land
How volcanoes on land form?
Volcanoes on land form from convergent boundaries subducting. Basically two plates meet together and the older of the two plates will subduct underneath forming an oceanic trench. The material underneath these plates melts lower the density of rock allowing it to rise to the surface forming volcanic pileup.
How does earthquakes change the surface of the earth?
I am not 100% sure but it may be that the plates may move forming a new mountain or land mass
What boundary creates mountains?
Mountains are created by the collision of tectonic plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust. When two plates push against each other, the land is forced upward, forming mountains.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What is formed when the tectonic plated disvergent?
When tectonic plates diverge, magma is allowed to well up to the Earth's surface and harden, forming new land.
What did volcanoes have to do with the formation of the early atmosphere on earth?
earth's plates formed them and without them we would not have much land .
What are the plates under land areas called?
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
What is mantle convection have to do with mountains?
As two plates converge (i.e. collide) [Mantle convection]they will pull up the the land between them forming mountains, On example of this is the Indian plate moving north, (It has not stopped yet,) colliding with the Eurasian plate forming the Himalayas.
What is it called when plates diverge on land?
tectonic plates
How does Pangaea broke?
Pangaea broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates. The movement of these plates caused Pangaea to split into smaller land masses, eventually forming the continents as we know them today. This process, known as continental drift, started about 200 million years ago.
