What are three types of tectonic plate movement?
Divergent. Convergent. Transform.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
Were Is the place where tectonic plates touch is known as the?
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the movement and interaction of the plates. There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform.
What is the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate?
north-northwest
What units measure tectonic plates movement?
Tectonic plate movement is measured in millimeters per year. This is typically referred to as plate motion velocity. Geologists use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the relationship between mantle viscosity and the movement of tectonic plates?
The mantle viscosity, or thickness of the Earth's mantle, affects the movement of tectonic plates. A more viscous mantle slows down plate movement, while a less viscous mantle allows for faster plate movement. This relationship influences the speed and direction of tectonic plate motion.
Why are there volcano's in the west coast of Canada?
plate tectonic movement
How convection currents drive tectonic plate movement?
by eating them
What is Titanic plate movement?
The Titanic plate movement refers to the process of one tectonic plate subducting beneath another plate in the Earth's lithosphere. This movement can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundaries of the plates.
What are the three types of plate bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
