When two tectonic plates collide, the weaker plate can be pushed beneath the harder plate, in a process called, subduction. When the Indian Plate crashed into the European Plate, the Indian Plate was subducted beneath the European Plate. This resulted in the up-thrust of the Himalayas Mountain Range (which is still growing in height, today).
No. The forces of plate tectonics are far more powerful than anything we could hope to influence.
The present shape of the continents do not fit perfectly together because they have drifted apart due to the movement of Earth's tectonic plates over millions of years. This process, known as plate tectonics, has caused the continents to separate, collide, and shift position, resulting in their current forms.
You could rub them together or you can cut them.
They could detect sound waves
It is highly unlikely for the continents to come back together as they were before due to the movement of tectonic plates. However, some theorize that in around 250 million years, a new supercontinent could form as a result of the ongoing process of plate tectonics.
to make a diagram
tectonic plates or you could say plate tectonics
it affects it because any earthquake or different types of events happens an it will affect plate tectonics because it is stronger then plate tectonics for example lava or magma when a volcanos errupts it could burn some plate tectonic when theres a sunami it could also affected especialy if theres a earthquake for example 5.8 or bigger since the streets brake into pieces it could affect it
Air pressure could be pushing the oil cap because of trapped air in the line. A mechanic could better diagnose the issue by inspecting the vehicle.
Yes. From meteorite heat and pressure, for instance.
Plate tectonics cause earthquake which may result into upheavals of earth perishing the living objects that become extinct in due course of time.
Tectonic plates could be immobilized immediately by a benevolent omnipotent God. Why not?
