What are the conditions that cause a volcanic eruption?
There needs to be a lot of pressure in the magma
How do massive earthquakes near oceans are followed by Tsunamis?
because the movement of the earthquake makes the plates in the water crash together to form the tsunami
How the different plates interact with one each other and what effect they have on the environment?
The plates in the Earths crust are always moving and occasionally the crash in to each other, the vast impact of the smash make the earth tremble and that is an earthquakes, they can also make tsunamis, and where the to plates meet they will keep pushing up into each other to make mountains.
How does subduction cause earthquakes?
the disturbment of the earth's tectonic plates causes an earthquake. It basically causes a couple of plates to crash.
When 2 tectonic plates move towards one another the boundary between them is called?
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
What are the conditions that cause a volcanic eruption?
There needs to be a lot of pressure in the magma
What happens during this type of plate movement?
when the plates crash each other the earthquake happens
Why do most form at plate boundaries?
This happens because the plates under the earths crust are always moving some times the plates crash into each other, this sometimes makes one plate sink under the other one and burning up, or pushing up.
How are mountains formed at convergent plate boundrys?
When plates converge, they crash together and push dirt up. With giant plates, they push up mountains. Take some dirt. Take two rulers. Put the dirt between the rulers. Now, push the rulers together. What happens to the dirt? The only way it can go is straight up. That also happens to the dirt between plates.
Why do most volcanoes form at most plate boundaries?
This happens because the plates under the earths crust are always moving some times the plates crash into each other, this sometimes makes one plate sink under the other one and burning up, or pushing up.
What happens when two continental plates crash into each other?
When two continental plates crash into each other, they crumple and fold. The crust is forced up, and mountains form, and earthquakes happen.
What are folded rocks?
When sedimentary rocks are first laid down their layers (bedding) are tangential to the earths surface (essentially they look flat). They remain like this unless two of the earths continental plates on which the flat bedded rocks are deposited crash together. When they crash together, the layers are squashed horizontally and become deformed as a result. Frequently this deformation causes the layers to fold (like scrunching paper) to accommodate and the result is folded rocks.
What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?
These are called earthquakes, they are caused by two huge rock plates in the earth which crash into each other.
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
When these pieces of earths surface crash together or scrape against one another the release of energy causes?
Earthquakes
If earths plate are always moving why are there no earthquakes all the time?
There are earthquakes all the time. However, they are so weak we do not feel them. Also, the tectonic plates move all the time, but there is only an earthquake when the plates 'crash' into one another.
How do massive earthquakes near oceans are followed by Tsunamis?
because the movement of the earthquake makes the plates in the water crash together to form the tsunami
