What else can I help you with?
What kind of currents drive plate motion?
wind
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake
When two sections of earths crust collide what kind of boundary is this?
Destructive (Plate) Boundary.Under converging convection currents in the asthenosphere, two plates converge.This is called slab pull.The denser plate sinks, then subducts into the asthenosphere and melt into magma.
What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
Where can mountains be created?
At breaks in the earths crust; like the tectonic plates; an earthquake can trigger a volcano, and depending on what kind of volcano it is, it can form a mountain.
What kind of currents inside the earth drive plate motion?
The main driving forces of plate motion are mantle convection currents and ridge push. Mantle convection currents are caused by the heat generated from the core creating movement in the mantle. Ridge push occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed and pushes older crust away. These currents create the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What kind of car does Steve Jobs drive?
I don't think this is correct, but apparently he drives a Mercedes SL55 AMG with no plates on it.
What kind of plates pull apart?
divergent plates
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
