What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
Convergent Plate Movement.
What type of plate movement is able to produce a chain of islands?
the divergent plate movement
What type of plate boundary creates karymsky to errupt?
divergent plate boundary
What is the plate on kilauea located?
The Pacific Plate. In the middle of the plate the volcano is rising from the plate movement.
WHAT ARE THE GEOLOGIC processes events that will occur because of this plate movement?
What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
Why is the asthenosphere important to the theory of plate tectonics?
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
What plate movement causes volcanoes?
The plate movement that causes volcanoes to erupt is called plate tectonics. Big rocky plates separate, make collisions and slide past each other that creates earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and also creates mountains.
Why is the asthenosphere so important to the theory of plate tectonic?
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
What plate boundary creates?
Divergent Plate Boundaries
Which plate boundary creates mountains?
convergent plate boundaries
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
Convergent Plate Movement.
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
How does heat create plate movement?
The heat from the plate movement is created when it moves.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?
Divergent plate movement.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
Movement of lithospheric plates at convergent boundaries can result in the subduction of one plate beneath another. This subduction creates conditions for magma to form as the subducting plate melts. The rising magma then reaches the surface, leading to the formation of volcanoes.
What type of plate movement is able to produce a chain of islands?
the divergent plate movement
