What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
What four features of California geology does plate tectonics explain?
The movements of the pacific and north American plates produced California's major geological features
What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
What is a fault in plate tectonics?
A fault in plate tectonics is the line where two plates come together. A well-known and very visible example of this is the San Andreas fault in California.
What four features of California geology does plates tectonics?
The movements of the pacific and north American plates produced California's major geological features
What two crusts do plate tectonics have?
Plate tectonics deals with the movements of earth's plates. The two types of plates are continental plates, which move at 2 cm a year, and ocean/oceanic plates which move at 10 cm a year.
What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
What are two formations resulting from plate tectonics?
Continental Plates= Mountains. Ex: Himalayas Oceanic Plates= Tsunamis
What are the types of plate tectonics?
There are four types of plate tectonics, namely major plates, minor plates, ancient plates and plates within orogens.
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
What four features of California geology does plate tectonics explain?
The movements of the pacific and north American plates produced California's major geological features
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics?
They are the same thing.
When two tectonics plates rub against each other what might the result be?
An earthquake
How are plates moving at a sliding boundary?
In plate tectonics, a sliding boundary is considered a transform fault where the two merging plates slide past each other in the opposite direction. A great example of a transform fault would be in California along the San Andreas fault line.
