What else can I help you with?
Are most plates boundaries continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
Do you get ocean basins when plates collide?
No, Ocean basins form when land drifts away, for example "Pangea" (north america,Europe,Asia&Africa) were once together & now, are not, theirfor ocean basins were created
Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
Most plate boundaries are located in ocean basins rather than on continents. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, leading to subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges where most of the plate boundaries are found in the oceans.
What causes ocean basins to form?
under the earth start to overlap one another causing things in the ocean called basins to occur which is where ocean basins comes from.
How do plate tectonics cause ocean basins?
the earth.
Does two plates moving apart cause sea floor spreading?
Yes, two tectonic plates moving apart can cause sea floor spreading. As the plates separate, magma rises up to fill the gap, solidifying to form new oceanic crust. This process contributes to the expansion of the ocean basins.
How can ocean basins change size?
Through the reduction or enlargement of oceanic plates via plate tectonics.
What does moving of techtonic plates cause?
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
If Earths plates and continents are constantly moving what effect does this have on Earths oceans?
The movement of Earth's plates and continents can cause changes in sea level, ocean currents, and the distribution of marine life. It can also affect the shape of ocean basins and the location of coastlines.
Do tides cause ocean plates to pull away from tectonic plates?
Yes!
Which is the layer of earth do you see mountains and ocean basins?
Mountains and ocean basins are found on the Earth's crust, specifically on the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates that interact with each other to create these landforms.
What are the deep ocean currents?
These currents make up 90% of the ocean waters.These waters move around the ocean basins due to variations in the density and gravity.Deep waters sinks into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes , where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
