How does sea floor spreading make the continents move?
Under the oceanic crust is the layer of the earth called the mantle. This layer is moving rock that is very, very hot! As the hot material in the mantle pushes up through the crust in the sea floor, it cools and becomes new crust as it pushes out (spreads) the sea floor. This movement in the plates causes other plates (continental and oceanic) to move as well. This is how sea floor spreading causes continents to move.
Counteract pressure that pushes and pulls at the side of a building during an earthquake?
cross braces i am so positive that it is the write answer sorry if it is not my bad
What type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate is the oceanic plate forced down into the mantle?
An earthquake is made. Shock waves move in all directions from that place ( which is called the focus) and then it reaches the ground. This point is called the epicenter. The earth then starts violently shaking.
What pushes and pulles on the Earth's crust?
Gravity.
What is the difference between subduction and convection?
not related subduction is when some one sexually seduces you Doh!! Ok wow um your thinking about seduction. This person is asking subduction lol. ok so anyways, convection is when the upper mantle pushes magma through an opening in the crust, which becomes new land on ocean ridges. Subduction is when two plates clash and one slides under the other and turns to magma in the upper mantle.
What is the process called when the mantle pushes plates?
CONVECTION
What pushes and pulls in the Earth's crust?
Seismic currents in the earth's mantle.
When one tectonic plate pushes underneath another what kind of boundary forms?
subduction zone or continental plate
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
How magma moves upward though a volcano and reaches the surface during an eruption?
The inside of the earth (Mantle) pushes the hot magma liquid and makes the magma move toward the surface.
Describe the mechanism of plate motion?
magma in the mantle rotates in convection cells. the magma then pushes the plates.
What is called when two plates collide and one pushes upwards?
Two plates colliding and one being pushed upwards is called subduction.
When regions of earth's surface sink down?
The earth's crust sinking in is called subduction. It is usually associated with tectonic plate movement. When one plate slides over another and pushes the other downward.
What would happen if there was an increase in the number of firms?
Pushes it out
What happens along a plate boundary that leads to high occurrences of volcanoes?
Subduction happens along plate boundaries which pushes up magma which then creates volcanoes.
Is a volcano caused by subduction?
Yes, volcanoes usually develop on subduction plate boundaries. The subducting plate pushes up magma to the earth's surface
