Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.

What was often the explanation for natural events such as earthquakes?
Historically, natural events like earthquakes were often attributed to supernatural forces or deities, reflecting cultural beliefs and religious interpretations. Many ancient civilizations believed that such phenomena were the result of anger from gods or the movements of mythical creatures. As scientific understanding evolved, these explanations shifted towards geological processes, such as tectonic plate movements, which are now recognized as the primary cause of earthquakes.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
Can arthritis in your thighs make your movements slow?
Arthritis effects joints like the knee or hip, but not the middle of bones like the thigh.
What are the 3 types of movements?
like oscillating movements
What is the definition of intraplate activity and how does it differ from other types of tectonic plate movements?
Intraplate activity refers to geological movements that occur within the interior of tectonic plates, away from plate boundaries. This type of activity is different from other tectonic plate movements, such as convergent or divergent boundaries, where plates collide or separate. Intraplate activity can include events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and uplift of land, and is often less frequent and more localized compared to movements at plate boundaries.
Why do different types of boundaries exist on the surfaceof the earth?
Different types of boundaries exist on the Earth's surface due to the dynamic movements of its tectonic plates. These movements create various interactions such as convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. The interaction between these boundaries leads to geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
What refers to all movements of the solid parts of the earth?
Tectonic movements refer to all movements of the solid parts of the earth, including processes like plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
What is a transverse plate?
There are three types of movements for Plate Tectonics and transversion is when two plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes. The plates aren't lifted or submerged in transversion like they do in conversions and diversions.
What are the number of movements in a symphony?
Usually, there are three or four movements. Some however, do not have definite breaks between movements and segue directly into the next.
What are the three subtypes of convergent plate boundaries and give examples of types of landmass formed at each boundary?
The three subtypes of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. At oceanic-continental boundaries, such as the Nazca Plate subducting beneath the South American Plate, volcanic mountain ranges like the Andes are formed. At oceanic-oceanic boundaries, like the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate, island arcs such as the Aleutian Islands are created. Finally, at continental-continental boundaries, such as the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, large mountain ranges like the Himalayas are formed.
What kind of movements is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
Convergent boundary three types are what?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
What are plate broundires?
It seems like there may have been a typo in your question. Did you mean plate boundaries? If so, plate boundaries are the lines where tectonic plates meet. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other.
What types of tectonics does Mars have?
In fact, Mars doesn't have plate tectonics like Earth.
