What is the effects of plate tectonics on land masses and mountain building?
earthquakes and other stuff
How is plate tectonics responsible for mountain building volcanoes earthquakes and ocean trenches?
If your question is "How are earthquakes and volcanos triggered by plate tectonics?", then here is my best explanation. Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates smashing together and buckling either upward (Forms a volcano/mountain) or downward (forms a trench/faultline) to trigger an earthquake. If one of the plates goes under the other then I believe the magma leaks out and forms a mass of volcanic rock that can either create a land mass, or make an underwater volcano/mountain.
How do plate tectonics causes earthquakes?
The concept of plate tectonics has revolutionized the explanation about how earthquakes occur in Earth Sciences. Plate tectonics tells us that the Earth's rigid outer shell (lithosphere) is broken into a mosaic of oceanic and continental plates which can slide over the plastic aesthenosphere, which is the uppermost layer of the mantle. The plates are in constant motion. Where they interact, along their margins, important geological processes take place, such as the formation of mountain belts, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Which is larger a mountain range a mountain belt or a mountain system?
A mountain belt is the largest.Then the mountain system is the next largest.Last the mountain range.
What is a snow capped mountain?
A snow capped mountain is a mountain with snow on the top if it.
Why are mountain ranges linear?
plate tectonics.
The formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges can be explained by the theory of what?
Plate tectonics
Which word best matches the meaning of the word tectonics?
"Geology" would be the best match for the word tectonics. Tectonics refers to the study of the Earth's lithosphere and its movements, which includes processes like earthquakes, mountain-building, and plate tectonics.
What is the effects of plate tectonics on land masses and mountain building?
earthquakes and other stuff
Which was an idea to promote the theory of plate tectonics?
Mountain ranges linking in England and America
What are 2 major geographical features that are caused by plate tectonics?
Volcanoes and mountain ranges
What is consquences of plate tectonies?
The consequences of plate tectonics include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mountain formation, and the creation of ocean basins. These movements of the Earth's crust can lead to natural disasters, changes in landscapes, and the distribution of resources on Earth. Additionally, plate tectonics play a crucial role in shaping our planet's geology and influencing its climate over long periods of time.
What mountain range is in Antigua and Barbuda?
There are no mountain ranges in Antigua and Barbuda. The islands are relatively flat and do not have significant elevation changes.
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
I am an artificial intelligence and I do not have physical sensations, so I do not feel the effects of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that describes the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
Which of the following is caused by the movement of Earth's plates mountain building chemical weathering the tides or tornadoes?
Mountain building is a consequence of plate tectonics.
How does plate tectonics change landforms?
mountains, mountain ranges, volcanoes and many other landforms.
What is an ocean ridge formed by?
An ocean ridge is and underwater mountain range which is formed in the same way as an above water mountain range, by plate tectonics.
