Where are you most likely to find all three types of rock being formed?
Along a oceanic crustal plate boundary. In other words, along the place where two continental plates,( oceanic and land) meet?
What is a transverse plate?
There are three types of movements for Plate Tectonics and transversion is when two plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes. The plates aren't lifted or submerged in transversion like they do in conversions and diversions.
What are three types of movements that occur along faults?
Convergence, divergence and strike slip.
What are the three main types of animal mating behavior?
Actually there are 4 different types: sound, movements, scent and display. xxx
What are the three types of boundaries formed by tectonic plate movement?
Divergent Plate Boundary: The area where two plates are moving in relatively opposite directions and new crustal material is being created. Examples would be the mid-ocean ridges and the East African Rift.Convergent Plate Boundary: The area where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other and one of two things happens; either the more dense plate subducts under the lighter plate and heads toward the mantle, or, if the plates are of similar density, they cause uplift and mountain forming events. Examples would be the oceanic to continental crustal collision creating the Andes Mountains, and the continental to continental crustal collision creating the Himalayan Mountains.Transform Plate Boundary: The area where two plates are grinding past each other, snapping into place from elastic rebound as they go, causing numerous earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a transform plate boundary between the North American and Pacific plates.
What are the types of movement between plates?
There are three basic plate movement types, first there is convergent movement. Secondly, there is divergent movement and lastly there is transform movements.
How many crustal plates are there?
There are fourteen crustal plates. They all move at different speeds and in different directions.There are three types of plate boundaries; Divergent, Convergent Bounderies, and and transform faults.
What are three types of evidence from the sea floor that prove the existence tectonic plates?
Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
What Three types of evidence from the sea floor that prove earths tectonic plates move?
Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
What are three major movements on the earth's crustal plates and what occurs as a result of these movements?
There are three major plate movements, whether these occur on the continents or under the sea, convergent, where two plates collide together and one sinks under the other, although sometimes with continental plates if two continental plates collide then they are both very dense so they both press up against each other and form mountains, there are conservative plate margins, where the plates slip past each other, catching against each other causing earthquakes, and finally there are divergent plate margins where the plates are moving away from each other, these cause upsurges of magma in between and new land/sea bed is formed, these types of plate margins usually only occur under the sea, this is how Iceland was formed, but not the Hawaiian islands
What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?
There are three types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes. Lateral, convergent, and divergent.

What are three types of plate movements and what do they look like?
First one is divergent where 2 plates move apart Second one is convergent where 2 plates move together Third one is transform where 2 plates slide past or grind past one another
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristics of each motion?
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.

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.
