What else can I help you with?
Is the ring of fire were many of earths plates meet the Atlantic ocean?
No.They meet in the Pacific Ocean.
What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries form mountains with a volcanic origin, such as the Andes in South America. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries create volcanic island arcs, like the Japanese archipelago.
Where do the earthquakes happen?
, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.
What does oceanic plates mean?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
Is the ring of fire an area were many of the earths plates meet in the Atlantic ocean?
The 'Ring Of Fire' is made up of fault lines which border the Pacific ocean.
What are the characteristics for a place where things meet or converge?
There is no single characteristic for a place where things meet or converge. I would like to say that the place must be something physical, lines can converge on a page (or a screen), people can converge at a lunch table, rail lines converge in many places. However, that place isn't necessarily physical, you can have a meeting of minds, or ideas that converge in a single mind or in time.
When two converging ocean plates meet usually subduct and their boundarys are marked by what?
When two converging ocean plates meet, one plate typically subducts beneath the other, leading to the formation of a subduction zone. These boundaries are often marked by deep ocean trenches, which are formed as the subducting plate bends and descends into the mantle. Additionally, these zones can be associated with volcanic arcs and intense seismic activity due to the interactions between the plates.
All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?
All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
What does the ring of fire have to do with earthquackes?
"The ring of fire" is the name given to tectonic plates that meet in a circular fashion with the Pacific ocean in the middle. These plates tend to move around causing earthquakes.
Where do ocean plates meet?
Ocean plates meet primarily at tectonic plate boundaries, which can be classified into three main types: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust. At convergent boundaries, one plate may be forced beneath another in a process known as subduction, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, involve plates sliding past one another, causing earthquakes.
Where do plate tectonics meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Does lines of longitude ever meet?
Yes. All longitudes converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
