What type of plate boundary exists?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
Plates move apart along what?
divergent boundary
What do Plates move apart along?
divergent boundary
What type of convergent plate boundary is found along the southern part of the Himalayas?
Subduction
A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
earthquake .
What is the possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary?
Earthquake!
Where are most mountain belts located?
Most mountain belts are located near tectonic plate boundaries, where tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to fold, fault, and uplift, resulting in the formation of mountains. Examples include the Himalayas at the collision boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates, and the Andes along the convergent boundary between the South American and Nazca plates.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
What causes a transform boundary?
A transform boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement causes earthquakes along the boundary due to the friction and pressure from the plates interacting.
