What else can I help you with?
What is a zone where rock surfaces are pushing together?
We see tectonic plates pushing together in what is called a convergent plate boundary.
Why is a plate boundary an active place for rock formation?
i have no clue!
What type of plate stress twists a rock?
Usually occurs at plate boundary collision areas.
Where is volcano rock found?
Volcano rock near volcano's, which are found near plate boundary's.
What type of plate boundary is Hekla the volcano formed?
A diverging is the type of plate boundary that the Hekla volcano formed. Hekla last erupted in 2000. It is located in Iceland. ADDED. Also called a "constructive" plate boundary, because the upwelling magma adds rock to the edges of the two plates.
The region along a plate boundary where one plate moves under another plate is called what?
The region along a plate boundary where one plate moves under another is called a subduction zone. In this area, the denser oceanic plate is typically forced beneath a less dense continental or oceanic plate, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. Subduction zones are crucial in the recycling of the Earth’s crust and play a significant role in the rock cycle.
Sudden break or crack in rock strata that occurs when one plate slips against another is called?
I'm not entirely certain, but probably about 95% sure that it's called a fault.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges?
Another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges is a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates are pushed together, causing compression that leads to the folding and uplift of rock layers, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges.
What causes magma to form a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent plate boundary the crust is thin. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, lowering the melting point and allowing some rock to melt.
Why is plate boundary an active place for rock formation?
beacuse this is a bad page never go
What is a giant crack in a rock called?
A giant crack in a rock is called a fissure or a fracture. It is a break in the rock that can occur naturally due to various processes like weathering or tectonic forces.
