What else can I help you with?
What tectonic plate is the Pagan volcano on?
the Caribbean and cocos plate
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What are three plate motions that can cause earthquakes?
Any and all plate motion causes earthquakes.
What makes Earthquakes happened?
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.
Why are buildings in the middle of a tectonic plate much less likely to be damaged?
Because there are far less earthquakes in the middle of a tectonic plate. About 90% of the world's earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.
Is the American and Cocos plate convergent or divergent?
The American Plate and the Cocos Plate are convergent tectonic plates. The Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate along the Middle America Trench, leading to volcanic activity in the region, such as in Central America. This convergence can also cause earthquakes due to the intense geological interactions at their boundary.
What direction is the Cocos Plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
What direction is cocos plate moving?
Cocos Plate is moving towards the north-east.
Which plate doesn't carry a continent?
The Cocos Plate.
What plate or plates does Africa sit on?
cocos plate
What plate is moving the fastest?
The Pacific and Cocos plate.
What type of boundary is between the Caribbean and Cocos plates?
The boundary between the Caribbean and Cocos plates is a convergent boundary. The Cocos plate is being subducted beneath the Caribbean plate, resulting in volcanic activity and earthquakes along the boundary.
Why did the 1985 Mexico City happen?
I guess you mean 'earthquake'. It happened because the Cocos tectonic plate pushed against and slid under the North American plate.
Which direction does the cocos plate move?
The Cocos Plate primarily moves in a northeast direction. It is located off the western coast of Central America and is being subducted beneath the North American Plate along the Middle America Trench. This movement is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region, including earthquakes and volcanic activity in countries like Mexico and Costa Rica.
When did Cocos Islands Mutiny happen?
Cocos Islands Mutiny happened in 1942.
When did Battle of Cocos happen?
Battle of Cocos happened on 1914-11-09.
What happened at a transform plate boundary?
The plates slide against each other, causeing earthquakes.
