What are some evidence of plate tectonics?
The ring of fire.
What does the Ring of fire have to do with the plate tectonics?
The "Ring of Fire" refers to a string of volcanoes, which create a ring in the Pacific. The relevance to plate tectonics, is that volcanoes are created by two plates coming together and pushing up on each other to create the volcano. The Ring of Fire is evidence of high plate tectonic movement in that particular area and outlines where the plates in that area come together.
What is the title for the circle of volcanoes around pacific ocean?
I think it is called The Ring of Fire! I might be wrong bit that is what i think it is. :-/
What are the crustal features of the land that are formed by plate tectonics?
Crustal features created by plate tectonics include mountains (e.g. Himalayas), trenches (e.g. Mariana trench), volcanoes (see the Ring of Fire), ocean ridges (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and rift zones (regions lateral to a volcano that lava flows from).
Where are volcanos most common?
The ring of fire!! Or the edges of tectonic plates.
Which mountain range formed as a result of plate motion around the Ring of Fire?
it is Andes
What is the area around the Pacific ocean called?
Its called the ring of fire because of all the volcanic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean
Which tectonic plate matches almost perfectly with the ring of fire?
oy yeah i totally know
What is the Ring of Fire and how is it related to Southeast Asia Why is it dangerous?
The 'ring of fire' - is the boundary of tectonic 'plates' in the Earth's surface. The whole of the Pacific ocean 'sits on top' of one such plate. The 'ring of fire' reference - relates to the fact that - where the Pacific plate touches another - volcanoes have formed.
How does the theory of plate tectonics explain the formation of the ring of fire?
The plate tectonics explains the locations of volcanoes. Each continent sits on one or more large bases tectonic plates. As the plates move, the continents atop them move, an effect called continental drift.
Which state is part of the ring of fire?
There is more than one state. Basically, any western state that has an active volcano that is part of a chain is on the ring of fire. That means California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska are sitting along the "ring", which is actually areas where the Pacific Plate is subducting underneath another plate. Hawaii does have volcanoes that are part of a chain, but they were formed by a hot spot, while the volcanoes of the ring of fire are formed by subduction of one plate underneath another.
What is the relationship between the ring of fire and the pacific plate?
The "ring of fire" marks the boundaries of the Pacific plate.
