What else can I help you with?
How long has California been at an active plate boundry?
225 million years
What type of plate boundary is Popocatepetl at?
Convergent, divergent, or maybe a transform boundary. Choose any one you want to.
What kind of convergent boundary is India in?
To the North of the Indian subcontinent are the Himalayas. These mark the Convergent plate boundary between it and the Eurasian Plate.
What is the license plate of California?
It is a simple white license plate with California in red cursive writing on the top. (that is the current one which has been used since about 2000 I think)
Which type of boundary do most earthquakes occur why?
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
How can you use tectonic plate in a sentence?
I wouldn't expect a very placid dinner when it might be served on a tectonic plate, but here we are. My tectonic plate has been very active, lately.
Are there any tectonic plates under Pennsylvania?
Yes. As a matter of fact, all land masses on earth are located on tectonic plates. So Pennsylvania is riding on the same tectonic plate that is carrying a portion of Eastern North America. What many people are more concerned about are the boundaries between them. There are 3 primary types of Tectonic Plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries; Convergent boundaries; and Transform boundaries. These are the areas where seismic activity occurs. So, Pennsylvania is actually quite far from an active tectonic boundary. And, as a result, it most likely will not experience an earthquake of any significant magnitude in the near future. Pennsylvania has been a fair distance from the nearest plate boundary since the breakup of Pangaea about 150 million years ago.
Why is the idea that California will sink into the ocean consistent with the theory of plate tectonics?
No. California's bedrock is continental crust and will not subduct in oceanic crust, just like a cork will not sink in water. California will continue to be split apart by movement along the San Andreas Fault and given enough time the fault may split into several segments and create islands of what is left of California. Then the islands will erode down to sea level. That process will take some 10 to 50 million years. However there is the possibility of a earthquake which many geooglist have been predicting as well as the melting of ice at the poles which will mean rising sea levels.
What is the term for a piece of crust which has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and become accreted to another crustal plate?
A terrane is the term used to describe a piece of crust that has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and subsequently accreted to another crustal plate. Terranes are distinct geological units with their own history of formation.
How many earthquakes have been happened in India?
India experiences over 200 earthquakes annually, with most being of low to moderate intensity. The country is seismically active due to its location on the boundary of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. Although most earthquakes in India are minor, there have been several devastating ones in the past.
What compromise established a boundary for further states to be a free or slave state?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820. It managed to balance the situation and keep the peace for thirty years. It might have done so indefinitely, if California could have been brought into the union as two states - North California and South California - divided along that boundary.
What tectonic plate is drifting away from the African plate?
The Arabian plate The Arabian Plate was part of the African plate during much of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Red Sea rifting began in the Eocene, but the separation of Africa and Arabia occurred in the Oligocene, and since then the Arabian Plate has been slowly moving toward the Eurasian Plate, where is is pushing up the Zagros Mountains of Iran.
