If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change Tectonic plates would?
move less then 2cm a year
Where on earth would you expect atmospheric pressure to be highest?
at the surface
Under which condition below would you expect a coarse grained extrusive rock?
Lava slowly flowing out of a fracture in the Earth's surface :)
What kind of region would you expect to have the greatest relief?
The regions of greatest relief are often those near the active junction of two tectonic plates. This junction may be a subduction zone, such as in the major oceanic trenches such as the Marina Trench; or a collision zonesuch as near the Andes and the Himalayas.
Under what condition would you expect a coarse-grained intrusive rock like diorite to form?
lava slowly flowing out of a Quick cooling on Earth's surface. apex
How can you use tectonic plate in a sentence?
I wouldn't expect a very placid dinner when it might be served on a tectonic plate, but here we are. My tectonic plate has been very active, lately.

What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?
the lack of a surface.
What type of hazards a person might expect at continental to continental crust coinvergent b oundaries?
Such hazards you may expect at tectonic plate boundaries are Earthquakes, Volcanoes and/or Tsunamis.
Would you expect plate tectonic activity similar to that on the earth to occur on the Moon?
No. The moon does not have a molten core for the plates to "float" on.
Which latitudes would you expect to find high surface pressures?
You can expect to find high surface pressures at the poles because they have all of the cold air sinking down to the surface due to the low intensity of insolation on the poles.

What physical feature would you expect the trunks of these remarkably similar trees to share?
smooth
What feature would you expect to find adjacent to an island arc such as the Aleutian Islands?
volcanoe
Which feature would you expect to find at the mouth of a submarine canyon?
A deep sea fan
Where on earth would you expect atmospheric pressure to be highest?
at the surface
Where would you expect to find the carboxyl end?
at the cytosol surface
