What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
What are some landforms that support the plate tectonics theory?
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
Which phenomenon can explain the presence of volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
Hot Spots.
Do volcanoes form along mid ocean ridges where two plates move together?
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
Is there evidance that the volcanoes and earthquakes are common in coasts and islands along the edges of the pacific ocean?
yes
Where does plate tectonics situated in layer of ocean?
earthquakes and volcanoes
What causes earthquakes volcanoes trenches mid-ocean ridge?
Plate tectonics.
What does the theory of plate tectonics help explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Which of these would be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
What is evidence that our planet has plates tectonics?
Chains of volcanos along ocean Coastlines
What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
What are some causes for the changing of Earth's surface?
plate tectonics, mid ocean ridge
What are some landforms that support the plate tectonics theory?
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
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:)
Which phenomenon can explain the presence of volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
Hot Spots.
Is Iceland mostly volcanoes?
iceland is a belt of volcanoes/hotspots along the mid ocean ridge, it isn't just mostly volcanoes, it is a volcano itself
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge occur a diverging plate boundary?
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
