What is a slap pull?
the movement of tectonic plates due to convection current
How have tectonic plates affected latin Americas physical geography?
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
What is the cause of the Mauna Loa?
The cause of Mauna Loa is that this volcano formed due to a mountain breakage!
What is happening to the floor of the Atlantic ocean due to movement of the plates under the ocean?
Mid-Atlantic Spreading, which leads to increase in the length of the Atlantic oceans floor.
Why is the lithosphere moving?
as it is concentrated on the crust. and the crust is moving due to crustal activity/tectonic activity.
What may happen due to movement of crustal plates?
earthquakes
What are the movement of crustal plates?
due to textonic movement of earth and valconic erosion
How do scientists think earths crust moves?
The crustal plates (made mostly of low density granitic rock) float on the mantle (made mostly of high density basaltic rock). Convection cells in the mantle move the floating crustal plates around.
What do scientists predict would happen to the continents due to the movement of techtonic plates over the next few thousands of years later?
i am donkey... how i answer it!
What happens under the earth?
Under the earth tectonic plates and continental plate is covered in earth crust . movement is happen due to mining andsoil dig due to devolepment purpose.
What is a slap pull?
the movement of tectonic plates due to convection current
What is convergent movement?
Convergent movement refers to the coming together or merging of two or more things towards a common point or direction. In biology, it specifically describes the evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental pressures. This phenomenon can lead to analogous structures that serve the same function but have different evolutionary origins.
Why did Pangaea break apart during the early Triassisc?
Due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What is rock deformation?
it is the movement of tectonic plates due to compression and tension which causes rock to fold and deform
What is the name of central california's plate tectonic?
San Andreas which is formed due to transform movement of plates
What is the process called that causes the tectonic plates to move?
Its more ov a movement really not a process. Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle.
What is the process by which hot material from deep within the earth rises while cooler material by the surface sinks?
this is due to tectonic plates that means movement of plates
