What two crusts do plate tectonics have?
Plate tectonics deals with the movements of earth's plates. The two types of plates are continental plates, which move at 2 cm a year, and ocean/oceanic plates which move at 10 cm a year.
Whats an earthquak?
when two of earth's plates collied.
What does plate boundary mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
What two types of plates consist two the crust?
i dont know the answer just tell me already
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
What two types of crusts on earth are there?
The Earth's crust is broken up into a large pieces, which are called plates. Two types of plates are oceanic and continental
What two types of plates does convergent boundaries involve?
There are two types of crust on Earth: oceanic and continental. A convergent plate boundary can involve two plates of oceanic crust, two of continental crust, or one of each.

What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?

What are the two types of tectonic?

What are the two types of plate divergences?
Two types of divergent plates are Eurasian and Nazca
What are the two plates inside the earth called?
If you are thinking of tectonic plates then there are more than two.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What are 3 types of boundaries where plates connect?
There are 3 types of plate boundaries, but only one in of them do the plates "connect". There is a convergent boundary, in which two plates come together (or "connect"), a divergent boundary, where two plates move a apart, and a transform boundary, which is when two plates slide next to each other.
The collision of two tectonic plates produces a volcano what types of plates could be involved?
two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate
When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?
usually when the tectonic plates collide there is either an earth quake, tsunami or both, however this doess not happen very often.
