Where do plumes NOT occur?
in the middle of the plates
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What and where do disaster volcanoes most occur?
they mostly occur on the edge of the tectonic plates - the earts plates which make up the crust. when to plates collide push or pull against eachother this will eather form a volcano or an earthquake
What must be passed for earthquakes to occur?
seismic unit
Where do major interactions between tectonic plates occur?
At their boundaries.
Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
What causes a major earthquake to occur where plates meet?
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
What are tectonic plantes?
Tectonic plates are plates that float on the earths mantle. There are 8 major tectonic plates on the earth and at the joints of these many earthquakes seem to occur.
Which major earthquake did not occur at a boundary between tectonics plates?
South Carolina 1886
Where do volcanoes happpen?
Volcanic eruptions occur only in certain places and do not occur randomly. That's because the Earth's outermost shell -- the lithosphere -- is broken into a series of slabs known as lithospheric ortectonic plates. These plates are rigid, but they float on the hotter, softer layer in the Earth's mantle. There are 16 major plates. As the plates move about, they spread apart, collide, or slide past each other. Volcanoes occur most frequently at plate boundaries.
What is the problom areas where the future quakes may occur?
The reason Japan gets hit so hard is that it lies on the junction between two major tectonic plates. Tectonic plates make up the earths crust and are constantly in motion. When two plates grind against each other, earthquakes may occur.
What events occur to build mountain range?
Most mountain ranges occur in the region of major plates colliding with each other, forcing one to go over top of the other.
Where do plumes NOT occur?
in the middle of the plates
Why doesn't Minnesota have major earthquakes or volcanoes?
because there is no tectonic plate under Minnesota, no plates are ever moving over MN, thus making it hard to get an earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur @ the edge of plates
What interactions occur when atoms are combined?
Electrons!! :D
The interactions that occur in a pond are part of a?
ecosystem
