What else can I help you with?
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
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 most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
What is it called when the force hat occurs when plates are pushed together is called?
The force that occurs when tectonic plates are pushed together is called "compression." This type of stress can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena as the plates collide and interact with each other.
What are underground plates called?
Underground plates are called tectonic plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What are plates that slide underneath another?
Tectonic plates are large pieces of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other. When one tectonic plate slides beneath another in a process called subduction, it can create phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity. This process is a key driver of the movement and shaping of Earth's crust.
What is it called when two tectonic plates pushes into each other?
Convergent Boundary
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
Each huge block of earth's crust is called?
A tectonic plate. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What is a plate called that slide past each other?
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
What are the plates called that make up the Earth's crust?
The plates that make up the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
What makes an earthquake?
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.
What is it called when tectonic plates move on top of each other?
When tectonic plates move on top of each other, it is called subduction. This process occurs when one plate is forced beneath another, often leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. Subduction zones are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries.
