Do convergent motion occurs where two plates push together?
yes it does
Has the gold coast ever had an earthquake?
No, Australia is situated in the middle of a plate of the Earth. These plates, when shifting and moving cause earthquakes, but only where there are faults/ two plates rubbing together.
What type of motion occurred between the two plates?
A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.
Most of the geological activity at the surface of earth takes place at boundaries between?
Most of the geological activity at the Earth's surface takes place at boundaries between tectonic plates. These boundaries can be convergent (where plates collide), divergent (where plates move apart), or transform (where plates slide past each other).
How do tectonic plates fit together?
Tectonic plates fit together like a jigsaw puzzle along their boundaries. These boundaries can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving towards each other), or transform (sliding past each other). The movement of these plates causes earthquakes and creates geological features like mountains and ocean basins.
Why was the earthquake occurs in different country?
because it can happen anywhere. especially near fault lines. all it is, is the earths plates rubbing together
What forms a volcano eruption?
two plates rubbing together
What is the main cause of the volcanoes?
The tectonic plates rubbing together
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
Why did mauna kea form in Hawaii?
from tectonic plates rubbing together
How did the christchurch earthquake happened in 2011?
it happened from the tectonic plates rubbing together
How did the 2011 christchurch earthquake happen?
it happened from the tectonic plates rubbing together
What do plate tectonics do to form a volcano?
they have convergent plates boundaries and come together rubbing
How does a tsunamis start and how they develop?
Tsunamis start from the earth's plates rubbing together or an earthquake.
Cause and effect of volcano?
Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.
Do convergent motion occurs where two plates push together?
yes it does
Why do volcanos occur more at locations where two plates meet?
The reason this occurs is because of subduction. The heat of the plates rubbing causes magma to rise forcing through the lithosphere (or crust). Thus causing alot of volcanos over convergent plates.
