Which of the two plates meet along the west coast of the US?
the plate off the west coast of south america.
What is things rest upon crustal plates?
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
Which two plates meet at haiti?
North America and Caribbean plates.
When two oceanic plates meet witch plate gets subducted and why?
When two oceanic plates meet, which plate gets subducted and why
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
Is the ring of fire were many of earths plates meet the Atlantic ocean?
No.They meet in the Pacific Ocean.
What results when two ocean plates meet and converge?
it should form a underwater earthquake and causes a Tsunami
Explain what plate tectonics and ocean trenches have in common?
Ocean trenches and volcanoes both occur where continental plates collide, or meet. An Ocean trench is also noted for the presence of a volcanic arc. This is right no joke:)
Is the ring of fire an area were many of the earths plates meet in the Atlantic ocean?
The 'Ring Of Fire' is made up of fault lines which border the Pacific ocean.
What does oceanic plates mean?
oceanic plates are plates that lies under the ocean. oceanic plates are plates that lies under the ocean.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
What does the ring of fire have to do with earthquackes?
"The ring of fire" is the name given to tectonic plates that meet in a circular fashion with the Pacific ocean in the middle. These plates tend to move around causing earthquakes.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate?
sinks
Where do plate tectonics meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Why do oceanic plates and a continental plates meet?
they bang
Do oceanic plates move?
the ocean plates move because of the movement of the the tectonic plates beneath the ocean and do to the motion of the oceans currents.
What are facts about divergent plate boundaries?
They are where mid-ocean ridges occur. Island arcs are common features of convergent boundaries where two ocean plates meet. The boundary where two plates slide past each other, is a transform boundary. The density of the plates, is important at subduction zones, where the denser plate sinks below the less-dense plate, which is also a feature of convergent plates. Tectonic plates are part of the lithosphere, which floats on the asthenosphere.
