What else can I help you with?
Are India and Australia on the same tectonic plate?
It doesn't. India is on Indian Plate whereas Australia is on Indo-Australian plate:
Are their any tectonic plates under Lake Erie?
Everything on the surface of the earth is on a tectonic plate. All the Great Lakes and in fact all of the U.S. and Canada except for Hawaii and part of California are on the same tectonic plate: the North American Plate.
If the overall size of Earth's crust stays the same and if one plate is pushing away from another what might be happening at the boundry with another plate on the opposite side?
it will seporate in between each other
How did continental drift happen?
Continental Drift happened, when the tectonic plates in the earth shifted, and pushed the lithosphere up, causing our continents to split.
What are the Diastrophic movements of the earth?
*Plate tectonic theory *continental drift theory *convection theory *expansion theory theories of diastrophism and diastrophic movements of the earth have the same meaning
Are subducting plate and oceanic plate the same?
No, subducting plate and oceanic plate are not the same. An oceanic plate is a type of tectonic plate that lies beneath the ocean, while a subducting plate refers to an oceanic plate that is descending beneath another tectonic plate at a convergent boundary. Subducting plates are a specific category of oceanic plates.
Are plate boundaries the same as tectonic boundaries?
Yes
Which boundary forms new crust?
Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.
What causes earthquaques?
A move in the earths crust. The tectonic plates push together causing the ground to move. Its also the same with tsunamis, except under water instead of land. Hope that helped :)
Which is thicker earths crust or lithosphere?
the lithosphere and the crust of the earth are the same lithosphere is another word for crust so the thickest is both of them.
What is the difference between the continental drift theory and the theory of plate tectonic?
There is no difference, they are they same theory about the Earth's crust being divided and moving, they are just two different names that people call it.
Are India and Australia on the same tectonic plate?
It doesn't. India is on Indian Plate whereas Australia is on Indo-Australian plate:
Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?
Earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes are all related to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes occur due to the release of tectonic stress, while mountains are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, pushing crustal rocks upwards. Volcanoes are formed when magma from beneath the Earth's surface is released through openings in the crust, often associated with tectonic plate boundaries.
Are plate tectonics and plate movements the same thing?
No they are not the same thing. Plate Tectonics is the study of mechanisms and the results of large-scale movement of the earth's crust. Tectonic Plates are large sections of the earth's crust that float on top of semi-molten rocks of the upper mantle.
Are their any tectonic plates under Lake Erie?
Everything on the surface of the earth is on a tectonic plate. All the Great Lakes and in fact all of the U.S. and Canada except for Hawaii and part of California are on the same tectonic plate: the North American Plate.
Why does the earths crust stay the same size?
The amount of crust present on Earth always stays the same. The amount of crust descending into the mantle is balanced by the amount of crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.
Why is the thickness of the tectonic plates not the same all over?
because the thickness of the crust is different
