Tectonic plates are formed when a new crust is created ,it forms what looks like giant plates. One side of the plate is where new crust is being made, while the other side is where older crust is being destroyed.These plates only move from 5-10 cm a year.
When 2 plates move away from one another (as in the case of a constructive plate boundary), magma from the underlying mantle rises to the surface where it cools and solidifies along the fault. At times, fissures along the plate boundary/fault lines allow the magma to continue rising upwards and cool on the plate surface, forming layers of rock which heap onto one another, eventually resulting in the formation of a volcano over time. The shape of the volcano slope is determined by the viscosity of the lava which emerges from the mantle beneath the crust.
tectonic plates don't form at plate boundaries plate boundaries are the ends of tectonic plates
Land moves in diffrent directions, land is pulled up and in other places pulled down.
because the magama beneath makes a crack on the plates
At the places where the tectonic plates crack, the hot lava erupts out and when it cools, it forms rocks.
they create landforms and earthquakes by smashing into eachother an example of this is the himilayas
they form the 7 continents in this case.
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
When it was formed by the movement of tectonic plates as a volcanic island.
The African landform that was most likely formed when two tectonic plates moved apart is known as the Great Rift Valley. That is what most geography experts agree is what happened.
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
tectonic plates
by tectonic plates
they are formed when the tectonic plates are shifted
Tectonic plates pushing together.
a divergent boundary
formed by movment of tectonic plates
the mountains formed by folding cause of tectonic plates
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
two tectonic plates colide
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
Caves are formed in many ways but mostly by chemical weathering of the surface rock. Tectonic plates on the other hand are huge slabs of rock that form the Earth's crust. Caves are not formed by tectonic plates, think of caves as tiny boreholes in the very surface of a tectonic plate. I agree
Mountains and Plateaus are formed when tectonic plates collide with one another. The Himalayas were formed and are still growing as the two tectonic plates they sit on are still pushing on one another.
