What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
How are volcanic?
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates move on the surface of the earth. It occurs at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic plates are always moving slowly, but when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, it creates a Subduction zone known where volcanoes are found.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
What is the closeset tectonic plate to Oklahoma?
Oklahoma is situated in the middle of the North American plate.
Is subduction characteristic of diverging plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not characteristic of diverging plate boundaries. Subduction occurs at converging plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. Diverging plate boundaries are where tectonic plates move away from each other, such as at mid-ocean ridges.
What are Large pieces of lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere?
tectonic plate
How are plate tectonics and tectonic plates different?
An intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate, whereas an interplate earthquake (plate boundary earthquake) is one that occurs at a plate boundary. Intraplate earthquakes are rare, but both can inflict large amounts of damage to populated areas.
Which region of the earth allows for the movement of tectonic plates?
The region where tectonic plates move is known as the lithosphere, which is the outermost shell of the Earth comprising the crust and upper mantle. Tectonic plate movement occurs at plate boundaries, where plates collide, move apart, or slide past each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What happens when a tectonic plate moves rapidly?
Usually an earthquake occurs.
Where tectonic plates move away?
At Divergent Plate Boundaries.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
