What happens during tectonics plates process?
happening during tectonics plates process is the 2 land part scratching togethere and they form like the plate tectonic theory that the 7 continent now is a 1 whole land in the past
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
What are the plates of the Earth?
Big Plates 1.Pacific Plate 2.North American Plate3. 3.Caribbean Plate 4.South American Plate 5.African Plate 6.Eurasian Plate 7.Arabian Plate 8.Indian Australian Plate Small Plates 1.Juan de Fuca Plate 2.Cocos Plate 3.Nazca Plate 4.Scotia Plate 5.Antarctic Plate 6.Philippine Plate
Mountains can be formed by erosion volcanos or a process called what?
Horse isle 2 answer: Plate TectonicsMoonWishes or MoonWind
How far can tectonics move a year?
2 cm
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
How was k2 mountain formed?
when 2 plates collided
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
How do plate tectonics create hills?
when 2 plates collide and form a "little hill "
What are 2 major geographical features that are caused by plate tectonics?
Volcanoes and mountain ranges
How did Africa and south America separate?
are you stupid or what !?!?!?! its so easy every continent has a plate called plate tectonics crust and mantle crust and mantle yeah yeah you know what it is plate tecttonics WELL//;.//..// It moves 2 inchs a yeah
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.
How long does it take for plate tectonics to move?
It moves 2 cm per year
What earth process could the pushing together of 2 plate tectonics?
When two tectonic plates collide, the weaker plate can be pushed beneath the harder plate, in a process called, subduction. When the Indian Plate crashed into the European Plate, the Indian Plate was subducted beneath the European Plate. This resulted in the up-thrust of the Himalayas Mountain Range (which is still growing in height, today).
What is the definition of convergent boundaries?
okay, a convergent boundary is when 2 plate tectonics collide together and making volcanoes or mountains :D
