What are continental plates?
An oceanic plate is a tectonic plate mainly underneath the ocean, and a continental plate is a tectonic plate mainly underneath a continent, A tectonic plate is a giant slab of rock which makes up the earth crust (outer layer)
What could happen to earths surface if there was a change in the water cycle?
There could be change in the content of water. It will affect the level of water in the water bodies.
Which of a planets properties have the greatest effect on its level of volcanic and tectonic activity?
SIZE
Which of a planet's fundamental properties has the greatest effect on its level of volcanic and tectonic activity?
SIZE!
Why are there so many destructive earthquakes in japan?
Japan is stuctured mainly from volcanos and earthquakes, it is made up of these things becuase there are 3 tectonic plates near or on japan(tectonic plate=earths crust/a part of it) and the tectonic plates constantly move and the eurasain plate goes over the pacific plate which is a hard process and therefore creates the earthquake and possibly a tsunami P.S: i cant remeber the 3rd plate :3 o and on the island Hokkido there isnt many there as it is close to the 3rd one that doesnt move much :3 :D
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
Japan is located near a point where three tectonic plates converge.what would you imagine the earthquake-hazardb level in Japan to be?
the peoplr in the place farts alot
How does the magma get above ground?
High pressures in the Earth’s crust pushes magma up cracks in the tectonic plates until it emerges above ground level.
How do you change your plates and bowls in restaurant city on Facebook?
You can't, actually. They change as you level your dishes up.
What is lateral plate slipping movement?
Sometimes tectonic plates neither move towards or away from each other, but side by side each other. This is known as lateral slipping and forms transform faults. The movement of the lateral slipping of tectonic plates is rigid and so the plates stick until the pressure and friction (stored energy) builds up to a level which forces the plates to slip. This slip releases the immense stored energy and forms energy waves, known as earthquakes.
What are continental plates?
An oceanic plate is a tectonic plate mainly underneath the ocean, and a continental plate is a tectonic plate mainly underneath a continent, A tectonic plate is a giant slab of rock which makes up the earth crust (outer layer)
What do monetarist believe?
the change in money supply will affect the price level
Are earthquakes all caused by the same thing?
Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean). The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place. So the answer to the questions is simply yes
What is true about the depth of earthquakes and the location of tectonic plate boundaries?
there are 7 tectonic plates 1 under each continent. if these plates crash or shift near the core under a volcano below / above sea level the eurasian plate would crash into the african one the south american plate will be affected and the world would colapse leading to earthquakes and volcanic erruptions in short the end of the world.
How was the darling scarp formed?
The darling scarp was formed when magma movement from below the earth's surface was moving the tectonic plates and when these plates move it is not uncommon for any weak spots on the earths crust to move. The darling scarp was flat until on day when the tectonic plates were moving the weak spot that the darling scarp is situated on gave way and the scarp was formed. Theheightdifference on Greenmount hill was 400 meters high but know is only 200 meters above sea level because of erosion.
Where do seamounts form?
Seamounts are volcanic mountains under the sea. They form where magma pushes IRS way through or between tectonic plates. Once they rise above sea level, they are then considered volcanic islands.
Why aren't islands permanent?
Islands can change or disappear over time due to natural processes like erosion, sea level rise, volcanic activity, or shifting tectonic plates. The dynamic nature of these processes means that islands may not remain in the same form or location indefinitely.
