crakes betwenn the plates
What else can I help you with?
The borders, or cracks, between tectonic plates are called ________.?
The borders between tectonic plates are called plate boundaries. These boundaries can be divergent, convergent, or transform depending on whether the plates are moving apart, coming together, or sliding past each other.
What often happens along large cracks called faults at the edge of the Earths plates?
Earthquakes
What often happens along large cracks called faults bat the edge of the earth plates?
Earthquakes
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
What is the border between the plates?
The boarder between two plates is called a boundary.
Long cracks where plates diverge?
rift
What is a petit-spot?
Petitsopts are created when cracks in tectonics plates appear far from a boundary, thus allowing magma to flow freely from the cracks in the plates.
What is a gap between plates called?
A gap between plates is commonly known as a clearance or a spacing.
Why do scientists think there are cracks in the lithosphere?
Scientists think there are cracks in the lithosphere because of the movement of tectonic plates. As these plates shift and interact, they create stress that can lead to the formation of fractures or faults in the lithosphere. These cracks play a crucial role in the movement of Earth's tectonic plates and the occurrence of earthquakes.
What is you it called when volcanic activity occurs along mid-ocean ridge in large cracks?
Volcanic activity along mid-ocean ridges in large cracks is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs as magma rises to the surface through these cracks, creating new oceanic crust as the tectonic plates move apart.
What is cracks in the earth crust located between two huge plates?
Cracks in the Earth's crust located between two large tectonic plates are known as faults. These faults are formed due to the movement and interaction of the plates, which can slide past, collide, or pull apart from each other. The stress accumulated along these fractures can lead to earthquakes when the energy is released. A well-known example of this is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Sets of deep cracks that form between two tectonic plates that are pulling away from each other are known as what?
Mid-ocean ridges
