What are 2 examples of plate tectonics?

Answer 1

Hmm... depends on what kind. that is a broad subject.

there are different kinds of faults. transform faults, diverging plates, and converging plates. converging comes together and creates trenches. diverging plates pull apart and created the mid ocean rift. transform faults are breaks in the boundaries that are caused by a sliding movement. there are two kinds of crusts. Oceanic Crust and Continental crust. Oceanic=in the ocean

continental=on land

here is a good example of plate tectonics, i just had to explain all that stuff.

Subduction is when converging plates come together. they make a trench by one plate sliding under the other and into the mantle. this is an ongoing process, so, think of a conveyer belt. the oceanic crust plate that is sliding under the other and into the mantle keeps going into the mantle, it does not stop.

also, Google the mid-ocean ridge for more on diverging plate boundaries ;)

Answer 2

Mountains: the plates are pushing together. An abyss (like in Finding Nemo): one plate moves over another and the one pushed down goes so deep as to melt into the mantle of the Earth. Volcanoes: When plates pull apart, the hot liquid (magma, lava, etc) comes up out of the center of the Earth and erupts onto the surface. Earthquakes: The plates are grinding against each other (usually in opposite directions).

Answer 3

Any land forms containing Earth's rock is a part of the lithosphere. Examples: volcanoes, mountains, the ground, glaciers, ice caps, hills, plateaus, valleys, canyons, etc.
