Why do you have to learn plate tectonics?
you are tought about plate tectonices because then you will know were you should go to be sfae when the world will end which is going to be on the 20th december
Impact on earth of a earthquakes?
It has many impacts on the Earth, such as moving the plates on the Earth to create earthquakes. It starts on fault lines, and it changes the Earth's surface in many ways, creating volcanoes and sometimes (if its in the water) it makes a tsunami!
How are plate tectonics and volcanoes related?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving on Earth. When they scrape against one another, an earthquake usually arises on land due to the huge amount of force the giant plates have. When they pull apart and cause a gap between them, magma from the Earth's core is able to escape to the surface, causing a volcanic eruption. and if you ever want to make this into a concept web yuo must you the first line on plate tectonics ant then write next to it that " Plate tectonics
Is there plate boundaries in France?
yes. all around the world we all have boundaries
How many shield volcanoes are in the world currently?
There are four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Of these, only the Earth really qualifies as "constantly reshaped by plate tectonics."
What sea is expanding because of plate tectonics?
The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. Plate tectonics are driving the eastern New World and the western Old World farther apart.
What is the study of plate movement?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
Why do plate tectonics occur?
i do not think anyone knows in the whole world then...come really that's why they invented this site
What happens to an oceanic plate as it pushes against another plate?
When oceanic plates push against one another they cause subduction or adduction earthquakes. These plate tectonics take place on ocean floors all over the world.
What is the study of the movements?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
How do earth effect the earth?
There are plate tectonics in earth and when they move, earth quakes happens. Sometimes the plate tectonics can move a continent. This is called the continental drift. Earth quakes can make volcanoes explode, tsunamis happen, and continents break. For example: The continent Pangaea. Because of the plate tectonics that caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and continents braking apart, the Pangaea broke up in to more continents and the continents broke into even more. That is why there are 7 continents in the world now. Earth quakes don't cause all these. Plate tectonics does. Plate tectonics makes earth quakes. Then, other horrible stuff happens.
Which scientific theory is not shown by the world map of earth's plates?
the theory of plate tectonics
Would an electron move toward the positive plate or negative plate?
First of all this isn't a question about Plate Tectonics . Plate tectonics is the behavior of the big geographical areas in which the world is divided in, known as plates. But, answering your question, an election is a negative charge and thus will be attracted to the positive plate.
How does plate tectonics happen?
global tectonics in which the lithosphere divided into a number of crustal plates
How is plate tectonics affecting the world?
When plates get pushed together it creates earthquakes and volcanic eruption's.
If plate tectonics was to stop would it cease volcanism?
That's like saying, if the world didn't exist would we still have oceans? You can't really get rid of plate tectonics so it doesn't really mean anything.
