What do crustal plates carry?
seafloor
Can plated carry continents or parts of the ocean floor but not both?
Tectonic Plates can't carry both ocean floor and continents on the same plate.
How can magma cause the plates that carry the continents to move apart?
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
Why are continents not fixed permanently in location on the earths crust?
The continents are embedded in the top side of crustal plates which float on the surface of the mantle. Convection currents in the mantle carry the plates around and the embedded continents travel along.
True or false plates can carry continents or parts of the ocean floor but not both?
true. only one of them can be moved at one time
Are the continents on top of the earth's plates?
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
Why do earthquake occur in the Philippine frequently?
Either they are near fault lines or near tectonic plates (what carry continents)
What is the difference between a plate and a continent?
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
What are the continetal plates?
the plates surrounding the continents
What are tectonic plates how were continents formed?
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
When two plates carrying the continents buckle?
Tectonic plates.
How do plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents?
Plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents because there are 7 major plates in the world. These plates are being moved by sea-floor spreading, pulling the continents along with them.
