What are most of the world's relief features a result of?
tectonic plates
Movement of the crustal plate?
When the crustal plate moves it vibrates the earths crust and its plates. When the crust and plates are forced to move it can result in volcanic action.
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
What two earth changing events occur when the plates underneath the ocean spread?
Earthquakes and tsunamis. Earthquakes are caused by the shifting or rubbing of tectonic plates, while tsunamis are a result of the displacement of the water, generating waves which gradually increase in height and power.
What are most of the world's relief features a result of?
tectonic plates
How do plate tectonics result in the development of earths major geologic features?
No movement
Earthquakes result when forces push what along faults in earths lithosphere?
Earthquakes result when forces push plates along faults in the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are comprised of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.
What are 1 geological features that could result when 2 continental plates collide?
Mountain buildup.
What can result from two plates in earths lithosphere colliding at a converging boundary?
mountains are made. from a fifth grader i look it up in my science book.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
Movement of the crustal plate?
When the crustal plate moves it vibrates the earths crust and its plates. When the crust and plates are forced to move it can result in volcanic action.
Do any moons have tectonic plates?
Sort of. Jupiter's moon Europa has linear features on its surface that are likely the result of processes similar to plate tectonics on earth.
Is earthquakes a result when forces push tectonic plates along faults in earth's lithosphere true or false?
I have the same question but its false it in my course 2 science textbook. I hope this helps and i dont know what forces plates along faults in earths lithosphere sorry!
Which is a result of compression forces acting on plates?
a result of compression forces acting on plates is massive folding and faulting of rock
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
What catastrophic event can result from movements of plates in the earths crust?
Earthquakes Tsunamis and ultimately on a longer time scale a volcanic eruption (destructive plate margin volcano such as mt st helens in the 1980s)
