How do plutons become visible at earths surface if they are formed underground?
erosion and plate tectonics
Was Japan formed by the Pacific plate moving over the Eurasian plate?
Japan is a string of volcanic islands which are formed at a convergent-subduction boundary. In this case, the subducted island was the Pacific Plate. When the pacific plate was subducted, the crust heated to form magma and expanded, pushing the Eurasian Plate upwards. This new magma close to the surface began breaking through the surface and forming volcanoes which eventually became islands.
Which surface is the mouth usually found in echinoderm?
Their mouth is situated on the underside or oral surface.
How was santorini volcano formed?
Santorini volcano was formed by the conversion of the African plate and the Aegean Sea Plate. As subduction occurred, some magma burned to the surface and create volcanic islands called island arcs. Santorini is one of those volcanic islands.
How are volcano island formed?
It is formed by a convergent boundary of an oceanic plate and continental plate when they hit each other and goes down into the asthenosphere thus making the magma to rise above the earth's surface making a volcano.Then it solidifies and therefore it makes a volcano island.
What is formed on the underside of the plate?
water bells
What type of plate boundaries formed the laki system located in Southern Iceland?
surface

How was Mount Taranaki formed?
It was formed by the pacific plate sub ducting beneath the Australian plate. The pacific plate slides into the earths mantle, where it melts. the molten rock then rises to the surface because it is less dense and forms a volcano
What is skid plate?
The plate on the underside of the vehicle that protects the vital areas of an engine or transmission.

Are under water and land surface mountains formed bt the same plate movement?
No, because if one plate is moving down then it would be underwater mountain, if the plate moved upward the it would be land mountain
Is the mouth of a starfish on the upper surface?
no it is in the middle of the underside
Which surface is the mouth usually found in echinoderm?
Their mouth is situated on the underside or oral surface.
How do the plates make mountains?
When one tectonic plate presses into another it can either force it upwards or downwards. If it is upwards, then mountains are formed as the plate pushes up the surface of the earth above it.
What are five features of the earth's surface that are formed by plate tectonic movement?
I'm sorry but i only know 2 canada and australia
Find the surface area of a plate?
surface area of glass plate
