What else can I help you with?
What crustal feature will form when two crustal plates move together?
a fault
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
How have crustal plates moved over time?
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
What forms when two crustal plates move apart?
an earthquake
How does the crustal plates moves?
by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.
How many plates are in the crustal plates?
There are 14 crustal plates on the earth.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
No, plates and crustal plates are the same thing. They refer to the large, rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of both oceanic and continental crust and are responsible for the movement of continents and the formation of geological features like mountains and earthquakes.
What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
What are the three types of crustal plates movements?
The three types of crustal plate movements are convergent (plates move towards each other), divergent (plates move away from each other), and transform (plates slide past each other horizontally). These movements are driven by the interactions of tectonic plates at plate boundaries.
What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
What natural events can occur when crustal plates move over each other?
earthquakes and tsunamis
Movement of the crustal plate?
The movement of crustal plates is driven by convection currents in the mantle. As these currents circulate, they drag the overlying crustal plates with them, causing them to move. This movement can lead to various geological phenomena, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
