What else can I help you with?
What land feature will occur when two plates collide during continental - continental convergences?
folds
What forms when plate push together?
when plates push together, it forms new land.
When plates force the crust to bed downward what is what land feature called?
When tectonic plates push the crust downward, the land feature that forms is called a "trough" or "rift." This process can create valleys or basins where the land is depressed between higher elevations. In some cases, this can also contribute to the formation of geological features like pull-apart basins or oceanic trenches.
What name is given to the feature where plates diverages on land?
The feature where tectonic plates diverge on land is called a "rift valley." This occurs when tectonic forces pull the Earth's crust apart, leading to the formation of a linear trough or valley. One of the most well-known examples of a rift valley is the East African Rift.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What happens if an earthquake is under land?
Most earthquakes are under land. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates shifting and/or colliding together.
How do volcano get on land?
volcanos are when two tetonic plates are pushing towards each other and instead of one going over the other they push up together forming what resembles a mountain, except lava is in the body, and can push its wat through the top of the mountain/volcano
How did America begin?
land plates were formed together and asian and african people started settling in america by crossing the berginia land bridge
Why are the Himalayas getting taller?
The Himalayas are getting taller due to the ongoing collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. This collision forces the Earth's crust to crumple and push upwards, resulting in the growth of the Himalayan mountain range. Additionally, the region's tectonic activity continues to uplift the mountains over time.
Will the earth be all sea one day?
We cannot know the future, but it seems highly unlikely that the Earth will someday be all oceans. However, earthquakes and the movement of the continental plates will continually shift the balance between land and water.
What are the plates under land areas called?
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
What is a place where two plates rub together called?
A fault line is a place where two plates rub together. This tectonic activity can cause earthquakes both on dry land and underwater. When it happens underwater, it can create a tsunami.
