What else can I help you with?
What is the zones places where the seafloor is forced under continents to drift?
These zones are known as subduction zones where tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to be pushed beneath the other. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountain ranges.
The collision of two tectonic plates produces a volcano what types of plates could be involved?
two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate
Does seafloor spreading hold the plates in place?
No, seafloor spreading does not hold the plates in place. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed and spreads apart. It is driven by the movement of tectonic plates, which are actually responsible for holding the seafloor in place.
What are the different movements of crust?
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What are the different movements of the earth's crust?
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
What is it called when plates collide?
an earthquake
What can form when plates collide?
an earthquake
How could a collision between two seafloor plates produce volcanic activity?
When two seafloor plates collide, one of the plates may get forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. As the descending plate sinks into the Earth's mantle, it gets heated up, causing the rock to melt. This molten rock rises to the surface and forms volcanoes, leading to volcanic activity.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates what does the denser plate do?
sinks
What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
Earth plates do not collide while revolving around sun?
earth plates can and do collide, even though the earth rotates around the sun
