Where are destructive margins located in Europe?
Destructive margins, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, can be found in southern Europe along the boundary between the Eurasian plate and the African plate. This convergent boundary has created features such as the Alps and is associated with seismic activity in regions like Italy and Greece.
Plate margins that are coming together are called what?
Convergent plate boundaries
Where in the earth do the most Earthquakes occur?
on the tectonic plate margins.
Which of the following is true of passive continental margins?
they have a continental rise
Which type of plate margins commonly form valcanoes?
tectonic plates
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes found around the world?
Where tectonic plates are converging and diverging with each otherThey are mostly found around the Pacific "Ring of Fire", and more generally on any destructive or contstructive plate boundary.Most occur on destructive plate boundaries. The Pacific 'ring of fire' is an example of a long series of destructive plate margins and most volcanoes and earthquakes on Earth are on it.
What type of activity happens destructive plate margins?
fu c k
Do active continental margins have a continental rise?
No, active continental margins typically do not have a continental rise. Instead, they often have a steep continental slope that descends into a deep oceanic trench due to tectonic activity. Continental rises are found at passive continental margins where there is minimal tectonic activity.
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Why is tectonic activity concentrated at plate margins?
Tectonic activity is concentrated at plate margins, because that is where the collision (destructive plate boundaries) or division (constructive plate margins) occurs. This is the place where the two plates hit each other or move apart, causing things like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and fold mountains. The impact, or the force, of the plates is biggest at the plate boundaries.
What does the passive continental margin have that the active margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
