What happend to all of the continental plates near the end of the paleozoic era?
All the land masses joined together at the end of Paleozoic Era into a super continent named Pangaea.All the continental plates came together to form the single landmass Pangaea.
The second era in geological time?
Warm, shallow seas covered most of Earth's surface near the end of the Paleozoic Era.
What would happen if you live near two tectonic plates?
The chance of earthquake in your area is higher.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
What happens when two continental plates move apart?
A rift valley form and around that rift valley a volcano could form also.

Is Australia near any continental plates?
Australia is a continent. It is located on the Indo-Australian continental plate.
What are tectonicsplates?
Tectonic plates.Tectonic plates are plates underneath Earth's surface that move very slowly. There are oceanic and continental plates. Of course, oceanic plates are plates under the ocean, and continental plates are plates underneath ground, or continents. Each of the plates carry the things above them, land or ocean. When two continental or oceanic plates collide, it causes a fold in Earth's surface, and an earthquake. Now, when a continental plate draws near and nearly collides with an oceanic plate, something called subduction occurs. Subduction is basically when the oceanic plate dips down below the continental plate, causing a trench.
What are the different mountain ranges and their formation?
Himalayas: Continental-continental North American Cordillera: Terrane accretion Aleutian: Oceanic-oceanic Andes: Near an active continental margin _______________________________ Himalayas: Two continents colliding Grand Tetons: Plates spreading Aleutian: Two ocean plates colliding. Andes: Near a subduction zone
The second era in geological time?
Warm, shallow seas covered most of Earth's surface near the end of the Paleozoic Era.
Why do quakes happen more often in some parts of the US?
The US is near tectonic plates :)
What would happen if you live near two tectonic plates?
The chance of earthquake in your area is higher.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
Most earthquakes happen-?
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
Why do earthquake are always near fault?
Earthquakes occur near fault lines because they happen when two plates slide into each other. Fault lines run over the space between tectonic plates are resting.
Why is New York state unlikely to have a volcanic eruption?
There are not tectonic plates near by and that's where volcanic activity is prone to happen
