What else can I help you with?
When two plates collide with enough force what occurs to break crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
What type of force pull two plates together?
tension acting on the plates
What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
The force occurring where Earth's plates are moving apart is tensional stress. This stress leads to the creation of new crust through processes like seafloor spreading and the formation of rift valleys.
What happens to spreading boundaries?
SPREADING ZONES Spreading zone occurs in the border of two tectonic plates. This happens when the plates generally move away from each other creating an opening for the magma to force through the surface.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes the two plates to move away from each other. As the plates separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, forming new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
Which force occurs when molecules of an object are pushed together?
The force that occurs when molecules of an object are pushed together is called compression force. This force causes the molecules to move closer to each other, resulting in a decrease in the object's volume.
Which type of force forms folded mountains?
The force that forms folded mountains is called compressional force. This force occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to be pushed together and folded, leading to the formation of mountains.
Was Brasstown Bald formed by a constructive or destructive force?
Constructive because two tectonic plates pushed together and pushed it up.
When matter is pushed or squeezed the resulting force is called?
The resulting force when matter is pushed or squeezed is called compression force. This force occurs when external pressure is applied to a material, causing the particles within the material to move closer together.
What is the force that happens when matter is pushed or squeezed?
Pressure, usually reported as atmospheres.
How are the pushed together and pulled apart?
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
When two plates collide with enough force what occurs to break crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
How disasters occurs?
because the earths plaits are pushed together to create stuff like volcanoes ,giant waves and earthquakes.gale force winds are created by space and
Is the force that squeezes and compresses.?
The force that squeezes and compresses is known as compressive force. It occurs when an object is being pressed or pushed together, reducing its volume or causing deformation. Compressive forces are common in structures, materials, and geological formations.
What force move convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, tectonic plates are typically pushed together by the force of subduction where one plate is forced beneath the other, or by collision where the plates directly collide with each other. This movement can be driven by the force of mantle convection, where heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle to flow in a circular motion.
What force is a present at a convergent boundary?
Compression
What type of force pull two plates together?
tension acting on the plates
