Is death valley a divergent plate boundary?
No. Death Valley is near a transform plate boundary, but is not directly related to it. Death Valley is part of the Basin and Range province of North America. This province is an area of crustal extension not associated with any particular plate boundary.
What is the term for a piece of crust which has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and become accreted to another crustal plate?
terrane
What type of fault is in a transform boundary?
A transform boundary, or conservative plate boundary, is a type of fault at the margin of two adjacent tectonic plates were the relative motion is horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction between the two.
Why are divergent boundary considered constructive while convergent boundaries considered destructive?
divergent - creates new crustal rockconvergent - destroys old crustal rock
Where are the most volcanoes on Earth?
In the "Ring of Fire" Around the Pacific ocean
What is the surface feature produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary?
Valleys, Cliffs, Mountains and Volcanoescanada and australla
What happens when crustal plates slide past each other?
Earthquakes occur and faults are created. (Next: transform boundary) no crust is created or destroyed.
Forms when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary is formed when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The movement at these boundaries is typically characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the friction between the two plates as they slide. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Is death valley a divergent plate boundary?
No. Death Valley is near a transform plate boundary, but is not directly related to it. Death Valley is part of the Basin and Range province of North America. This province is an area of crustal extension not associated with any particular plate boundary.
What are the causes of crustal movements?
convenction!!
What features are common near the boundaries of the earth's crustal plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys. Commonly associated with eartquakes. The landform depends on the type of boundary: converging, diverging, transform.
What is the study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust?
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called plate tectonics :)
What is the relationship between earthquakes and crustal movement?
Crustal movements cause earthquakes because of the sound waves and the movement underground.
What is the term for a piece of crust which has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and become accreted to another crustal plate?
terrane
Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
What is a crustal boundary?
There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.
What type of fault is in a transform boundary?
A transform boundary, or conservative plate boundary, is a type of fault at the margin of two adjacent tectonic plates were the relative motion is horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction between the two.
