What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
Which plate movement affecting the greater antilles area?
The Greater Antilles area is affected by both the North American Plate moving westward and the Caribbean Plate moving eastward. The movement between these two tectonic plates results in the formation of the Caribbean Plate tectonic boundary, creating geological features like the Puerto Rico Trench and the volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles.
What is the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate?
north-northwest
What places are NOT currently being affected by plate tectonic activity?
france.
What units measure tectonic plates movement?
Tectonic plate movement is measured in millimeters per year. This is typically referred to as plate motion velocity. Geologists use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the relationship between mantle viscosity and the movement of tectonic plates?
The mantle viscosity, or thickness of the Earth's mantle, affects the movement of tectonic plates. A more viscous mantle slows down plate movement, while a less viscous mantle allows for faster plate movement. This relationship influences the speed and direction of tectonic plate motion.
Why are there volcano's in the west coast of Canada?
plate tectonic movement
How convection currents drive tectonic plate movement?
by eating them
What is Titanic plate movement?
The Titanic plate movement refers to the process of one tectonic plate subducting beneath another plate in the Earth's lithosphere. This movement can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundaries of the plates.
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
What are three types of tectonic plate movement?
Divergent. Convergent. Transform.
