What else can I help you with?
Produced as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
Trench.um no it is actually earthquakes and volcanoes... your welcome;)
What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction zones occur along ocean trenches where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another. This process causes deep focus earthquakes because the descending plate generates intense pressure and friction as it moves deeper into the Earth's mantle. In contrast, mid-ocean ridges are areas where tectonic plates move apart, causing shallow earthquakes.
What Produced as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
As a tectonic plate moves deeper into the mantle, it experiences increased pressure and temperature. This can lead to the plate melting partially or completely, forming magma. The magma produced can then rise to the surface through volcanic activity, leading to the formation of volcanoes and igneous rocks.
What moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
What moves a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
Does the crust of the earth move?
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
Why the mantle moves?
It moves because of convection currents
What is the cycle of the mantle that moves the crust called?
The cycle of the mantle that moves the crust is called plate tectonics. This process involves the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates over the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Convection currents within the mantle drive these movements, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. The interactions between tectonic plates can result in various geological features and events.
Why do earthquakes occur at greater depths along convergent plate boundaries?
Convergent boundaries are boundaries where tectonic plates are moving together. Since the edges of both can't be in the same place, one plate will be forced under another plate (and the other above). The plate going 'down' will thus go deeper into the earth - allowing deeper earthquakes to occur.
What types of wave cause a earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when energy is released as the lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) of the Earth moves. Energy is emitted in the form of waves. There are different types of waves, some move faster, slower, sideways, or up and down. A seismograph records these waves on a seismogram.
What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
The plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed is a subduction zone. In this process, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the Earth's mantle. As the descending plate moves deeper into the mantle, it is eventually melted down and destroyed.
How does the mantle crust and core interact?
The mantle is a layer of rock below the Earth's crust that moves due to convection currents caused by heat from the core. The core is the Earth's innermost layer made of iron and nickel. The mantle interacts with the crust through tectonic plate movements that can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
