What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.
The Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion due to several factors Temperature and density differences in the plates cause push and pull forces that move the plates?
The volcanic activey under the crust causes the tectonic plates to move
Volcanic activity how does it happen?
Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California
What happens in the mantle that makes the plates move?
sing
What happens when the plates move apart towards and slide past?
When two plates move apart it forms a hole but new crust is formed.
Why is the spreading apart of plates considered constructive?
As the plates rub against each other, they cause the ground to move, creating an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
What is the safest move in a volcanic eruption?
Step back from the edge of the rim!
Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?
Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.

What maks a earthqukes start?
there is an eruption thus causing the plates in the earth move.
How can new Hawaiian islands form?
From Volcanic Eruptions and when tectnotic plates move.
In which direction would volcanic ash travel?
Most volcanic ash do travel in the direction of the prevailing wind. But they do initialy move randomly after eruption.
What do plates do when an earthquake happens?
They move
What caused the volcanic eruption to erupt?
There are plates that are always shifting around in the ground. They move 1cm every day. When the plates collide,they make a big BOOM which cause the things in the volcano to heat up. Then the heat pushes everything to the opening in the volcano which causes it to erupt and shoot out.
What are formed due to the movement of the earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is split up into plates, I think there are 8 in total, on the borders of these plates are volcanoes, these plates can move in various different ways, sometimes crashing head on, moving apart, one sliding on top of the other, depending on which movement, there can either be a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.
How does the divergent boundary plates move?
Oceanic crust is forced under continental crust and melted into lava because of the friction and heat. The lava is then pushed upwards through a volcano, causing a volcanic eruption. The plates sliding also causes violent earthquakes.
What happens when tectonic plates suddenly move?
An Earthquake happens.
