What else can I help you with?
Why is the earth continually changes forms?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving
What are plates in science?
An extremely large, moving slab of rock that forms Earth's crust.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
The pushing forces of two plates moving together form which type of mountain?
It forms folded mountains
Are there earthquakes near mountain systems?
Often, since moving Earth plates are what forms most mountains.
A mid-ocean ridge forms along what plates?
A mid-ocean ridge forms along divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving apart. These boundaries occur where magma rises to the surface, creating new oceanic crust and extending the ocean floor.
What are Underwater mountain ranges where plates of the earths crust are moving away from each other?
Underwater mountain ranges formed by tectonic plates moving apart are known as mid-ocean ridges. These geological features occur at divergent plate boundaries, where magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust as the plates separate. This process not only forms the ridges but also leads to volcanic activity and the formation of new seafloor. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the most well-known examples of such underwater mountain ranges.
What are the earths plates made of?
parts of the crust and upper mantle
What type of volcano forms where magma is being forced up from the extreme depths within earth or in areas where earth's plates are moving apart?

What landform is caused when a fast moving river meets a body of water?
It forms a delta by sedimentation of debris brought by the river stream.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
