What else can I help you with?
What kind of plate was the marianas trench made on?
The Mariana Trench is on two tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate and the Mariana Plate. The Pacific Plate is beneath the Mariana Plate by subduction.
What are the two tectonic plates that formed the Mariana Trench?
The Mariana Trench was formed by the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the Mariana Plate. This subduction process created the deep trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
What type of boundary is the mariana trench?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
How do the plates touching the mariana trench move?
The Mariana Trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Plate. As these tectonic plates interact, the denser Pacific Plate is forced down into the mantle, creating a deep trench. This movement is driven by the process of plate tectonics, where convection currents in the Earth's mantle cause the plates to shift. The interaction can also lead to seismic activity, including earthquakes, as the plates grind against each other.
What type of boundary did the Mariana Trench form along?
The Mariana Trench was formed along a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. More specifically, it was created by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the smaller Mariana Plate in a process known as plate tectonics.
Is the Mariana trench convergent divergent or transform?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
