What else can I help you with?
What is the study of the way move plates?
Plate Tectonics
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
What directions do the plates move relative to one another at a divergent plate boundary?
they move away form each other, so what ever the direction the plates are the move the apposite direction away
Do all the tectonic plates move at the same rate?
No, tectonic plates move at different rates. Some plates move faster than others, while some plates move very slowly. The movement of the plates is driven by the underlying convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
What are the general ways that plates interact?
One of the way is they move towards each other and converge,or collide
Do oceanic plates move?
the ocean plates move because of the movement of the the tectonic plates beneath the ocean and do to the motion of the oceans currents.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
How do plates move where convection currents are sinking?
When convection currents sink near the mantle, they create drag on the lithospheric plates above. This drag causes the plates to move in the direction of the sinking current. As the plates move, they can interact with other plates, leading to processes like subduction or mountain formation.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
What are three ways plates move?
Plates move through seafloor spreading, where new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and pushes existing plates apart. Another way is through subduction, where one plate slides beneath another due to differences in density. Plates can also move horizontally past each other at transform boundaries.
