What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
What process moves rocks around the planet?
Erosion;the movement of tectonic plates
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
What happens when two tectonic plates rub back and forth?
an earthquake happens
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.
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
What happens when tectonic plates suddenly move?
An Earthquake happens.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What does the earths crust consist of that moves?
Those would be tectonic plates.
The large thin plates that moves relative to one another on the outer surface of the earth?
Tectonic plates.
What happens when tectonic plates get subducted?
they will form a mountain
What process moves rocks around the planet?
Erosion;the movement of tectonic plates
What moves at 0.0820 yards per year?
This is a guess: Earth's tectonic plates.
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
What happens when two tectonic plates rub back and forth?
an earthquake happens
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
