What else can I help you with?
Why do plates produce different types of plate boundaries?
Plates produce different types of boundaries because they exhibit different axis of movement and towards different direction.
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plates?
Fill the gap between separating plates.
Why are some earthquakes are stronger than other?
there is a difference between the types of plate movement and a difference in the distance from the Earth's surface.
Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of tectonic plates can change due to forces acting on them, such as convection currents in the mantle or the collision of plates. These forces can speed up or slow down the movement of the plates over time.
What types of features are formed between plates?
volcanic lava
How do plates move at transform plate boundaries and what factors influence their movement?
At transform plate boundaries, plates move horizontally past each other. The movement is influenced by factors such as friction between the plates, the angle of the boundary, and the amount of force pushing the plates.
What types of land movement are created by the tectonic plates?
plate tectonics it was developed in the mid 1960'sby geophysicist the term plates is refr to large rigin
How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and transform boundaries similar?
Both divergent and transform boundaries involve the movement of tectonic plates. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust. At transform boundaries, plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along the boundary. Both types of boundaries are associated with plate movement and the interaction between tectonic plates.
How are lithospheric plates like shopping carts?
lithosperic plates are like shopping carts because because it shows the movement of the plates and there are small wiggles between each cart
Which of the three types of plate movement provided some evidence and supported Wegener's theory?
The movement of plates at divergent boundaries, where new crust is created as plates pull apart, supported Wegener's theory of continental drift. This movement of plates helped explain how continents could have once been connected and then drifted apart over time.
What is the relative velocity between the African and the south American plates?
The relative velocity between the African and South American plates is about 2.5 centimeters per year. This movement is part of the broader process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that interact and move over the underlying asthenosphere.
What types of boundaries have subduction zones?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
