What else can I help you with?
How is a mountain range formed?
The movement and/or interaction of lithospheric plates.
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
What kind of boundary is formed by the direct collision of two lithospheric plates?
A convergent boundary is formed when two lithospheric plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision often leads to the formation of mountain ranges or volcanic activity.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
What is formed when tectonic plates separate?
a divergent boundary
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
What does Pangaea have to do with lithosheric rock?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago, formed by the movement of lithospheric plates. As Pangaea broke apart, the lithospheric plates moved to their current positions, resulting in the Earth's current continents and ocean basins. This movement also influenced the distribution of different types of lithospheric rocks around the world.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
Is it true Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
