What kind of tectonic plate is mt.erebus?
Mt. Erubus has tectonic plates made up of parts of the lithosphere. These plates grind together or pull apart and this causes volcanoes to erupt.
What are most tectonic plates composed of?
Tectonic plates are composed of both oceanic and continental crust. Oceanic plates are predominantly made of basaltic rock, while continental plates are primarily composed of granitic rock. The Earth's lithosphere, which includes the tectonic plates, is made up of these crustal rocks.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
Tectonic plates are made from what part of the earth?
The lithosphere.
How many tectonic plates are made of only oceanic crust?
There are seven tectonic plates that are primarily made up of oceanic crust: the Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate, Juan de Fuca Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, Arabian Plate, and the Scotia Plate. These plates are generally located in the ocean basins and are involved in the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
How did earthquake make the Himalayas?
the earth's surface is made up of tectonic plates, due to convection currents these plates are moving all the time because of this you have huge tectonic plates pushing against each other. the cause of earth quakes is tectonic plates rubbing against each other, eventually these plates push up wards founing huge mountain vistas such as the himilayas. these plates keep moving and this is whay mount Everest grows 4 inches or so every year (might be 4 millimeters)
How are earthquekes made?
earthquakes are created by the movement of tectonic plates.
