Explain what plate tectonics and ocean trenches have in common?
Ocean trenches and volcanoes both occur where continental plates collide, or meet. An Ocean trench is also noted for the presence of a volcanic arc. This is right no joke:)
What major ocean floor did oceanographers discover after World War 2?
The mid-ocean ridges were discovered in the Atlantic Ocean after World War II. These undersea mountain ranges mark places where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise from below the Earth's crust. This discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of the structure of the ocean floor and led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
What is 170 degrees celsius in gas mark?
between gas mark 3 and 4.
How do scientist know where plate boundaries are?
Geologists identify plate boundaries by plotting the locations of earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. The three types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform.
What happens to the old crust as new crust forms?
Mid-ocean ridges mark these sites where the ocean floor is spreading apart. As the ridges continue to widen, a gap called a forms. Here molten material rises to build new crust. When molten material rises from the asthenosphere, cold ocean water cools the rock until it becomes solid. As the plates move apart, new cracks open in the solid rock. More molten material rises and hardens. The growing ridge stands high above the sea floor. The world's longest ridge, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean. Here the North and South American plates are moving away from the Eurasian and African plates. The ridge extends nearly 11,000 kilometers (6214 mi) from Iceland to near Antarctica. The rift valley is 24 kilometers (15 mi) wide and 9 kilometers (6 mi) deep-about 7 kilometers (4 mi) deeper than the Grand Canyon!
What geologic feature is often found at the subducted oceanic plates?
At subducted oceanic plates, deep ocean trenches are commonly formed. These trenches mark the location where one tectonic plate is being forced under another, creating a zone of intense geological activity. Additionally, volcanic arcs often develop parallel to these trenches as magma generated by the subduction process rises to the surface.
What forms on the ocean floor at most convergent boundries?
At most convergent boundaries, oceanic plates collide with either another oceanic plate or a continental plate, leading to the formation of ocean trenches. These trenches are deep, narrow depressions in the ocean floor that mark the site of subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another. Additionally, volcanic arcs may form parallel to the trench on the overriding plate due to the melting of subducted material.

What are the ocean zones of a marine ecosystem from most shallow?
The ocean zones of a marine ecosystem, from most shallow to deepest, include the intertidal zone, where the ocean meets the land and is exposed at low tide; the neritic zone, which extends from the low tide mark to the continental shelf; and the oceanic zone, which is further divided into the epipelagic (sunlit), mesopelagic (twilight), bathypelagic (midnight), abyssopelagic (dark), and hadal zones (deep ocean trenches). Each zone supports distinct ecosystems and communities of organisms adapted to varying light, pressure, and temperature conditions.
Who was Deep Throat?
Watergate's Deep Throat was W. Mark Felt of the FBI.
Where do the E and W linesof longitude meet?
The zero mark, at the Prime Meridian, and the 180 mark, the "anti-meridian" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, are the places where the same line is the edge of both east and west longitudes. But all of the lines ('meridians') that mark a constant longitude meet at the north and south poles.
Is a mid-ocean ridge convergent?
No. Mid-ocean ridges mark divergent boundaries.
What are trenches?
A trench is a hole that is much longer than it is wide, a narrow excavation. The usual applications of the term are: - the trenches used as manned fortifications, as in World War II - deep underwater chasms that typically mark the subduction of oceanic plates
What has the author Mark Lee written?
Mark Lee has written: 'Rebel armies deep into Chad'
Is mark deep blue?
yes and no cus deep blue took over his body so not realy
Who does Kellan Lutz play in deep winter?
Mark Rider
What places have you traveled to that you would mark on a map?
Some places I have traveled to and would mark on a map include Paris, Tokyo, New York City, and Sydney.
