What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
What does the subduction look like?
Subduction can be defined as the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earthÕs crust into the mantle beneath another plate. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones. .
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?
The movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one is called subduction.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation of movement and subduction of earths layers?
Pinche PUTA !
How will foliation in continental metamorphic rocks formed during subduction be oriented?
perpendicular to the direction of plate movement :)
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
Why are there few volcanoes in the Himalaya?
There is no subduction occurring.
What does the subduction look like?
Subduction can be defined as the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earthÕs crust into the mantle beneath another plate. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones. .
How did the movement of create the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate,
Why do passive margins have no trenches?
Trenches are caused by plate movement.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
Did the movement of plates create the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate,
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
This happens in front of Island Arcs and in at destructive plate boundaries.
How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?
The movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one is called subduction.
What did John Tuzo Wilson use to develop the theory of plate tectonics?
Formation...Movement...and Subduction.
