slab pull
What else can I help you with?
Plate motion due to the heating and cooling of rocks?
Convection
Was the haiti earthquake on a conservative plate boundary?
Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.
What happen to density as you go deeper into the earth?
As you go deeper into the Earth, density generally increases due to the increasing pressure and the gravitational pull of the overlying material. The Earth's inner layers, such as the mantle and core, are composed of heavier elements and minerals, contributing to higher densities. Additionally, the temperature also rises with depth, but the dominant factor affecting density is the pressure from the layers above.
What is formed when one tectonic plate slide under another tectonic plate?
Depends on the type of tectonic plate. If it is two continental plates, usually a mountain range will be formed and the plates will 'lock' together due to their thickness. The Indian sub-continent colliding with the eurasian plate is one example. If an oceanic plate is subducting under a continental plate an island arc can be formed or mountain range such as Japan and the Andies mountains respectively. This type is also where volcanoes will be commonly found unlike the collision of two continental plates, due to the magma formed from the subduction of the oceanic plate. If two oceanic plates collide, usually form an oceanic mountain range and lock together similar to the continental plates.
How do you change the antifreeze in your 2000 Tahoe 5.7L 4X4 Z71--you can't even see the drain plug due to the skid plate?
either remove skid plate or disconnect the bottom radiator hose and dump the coolant
What is the plate motion due to higher densities called?
The plate motion due to higher densities is called subduction. This occurs when a denser oceanic plate is forced underneath a less dense continental plate at convergent plate boundaries.
What slab pull describe?
Slab pull is the force which is caused by the sinking of the cold, dense lithosphere into the mantle. It is considered as one of the two major driving forces for the movements of tectonic plates.
Plate motion due to gravity is what?
ridge push
What is the plate motion due gravity?
Ridge Push
What Plate motion due to gravity?
ridge push
Compare and contrast ridge-push and slab-pull?
Ridge push is a proposed mechanism for plate motion in plate tectonics. Because mid-ocean ridges lie at a higher elevation than the rest of the ocean floor, gravity causes the ridge to push on the lithosphere that lies farther from the ridge.Slab Pull is is tectonic plate motion due to higher densities. Plate motion is partly driven by the weight of cold, dense plates sinking into the mantle at trenches.
Plate motion due to the heating and cooling of rocks?
Convection
What plate motion due to the heating and cooling of rocks?
convection
What part of the earth in motion due to density?
The ocean currents move because of different densities caused by ocean temperatures and salinity.
What does an ocean plate make when it collides with a continental plate?
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate usually subducts beneath the less dense continental plate due to the difference in densities. This can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges on the continental plate due to the intense tectonic forces generated during the collision.
Do the densities of the solar system planets fall into two or more groups?
Yes, the densities of the solar system planets can generally be grouped into two categories: terrestrial planets (such as Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury) with higher densities due to their rocky compositions, and the gas giant planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) with lower densities due to their gaseous compositions.
What is the reason that higher average surface densities are found in the Southern Hemisphere?
Higher average surface densities are found in the Southern Hemisphere due to the presence of extensive ocean basins and the Southern Hemisphere having less landmass compared to the Northern Hemisphere. This results in a larger proportion of the Southern Hemisphere being covered by water, leading to higher average surface densities in that region.
