What else can I help you with?
Why isn't the earth cratered like the moon?
Weathering, volcanic action and plate tectonic action means that the surface of the Earth is constantly changing and meteor impact craters are eroded away . The surface of the moon is dead and there are no processes to remove the craters from its surface.
Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the ring of fire?
The volcanic eruptions are the cause of tectonic movement of the "plates" meaning that when the plates hit each other they cause the magma under the earth to rise and sometimes erupt causing ash and sometimes lava to leave the volcanic shell in an eruption
How can a plains landscape change to a mountain landscape through time?
By tactonic movements and volcanic action , geological uplifting etc.
How can electrolyte imbalance control your heart function?
Electrolytes such as Sodium and potassium help the heart contract through a process called action potential. When the heart is at -60 MV the cell will open up allowing sodium into the cardiac cells causing a contraction. Look up action potential.
What word of kind of action pulls plates apart?
Tectonic plates, if it is the plates you are talking about, move because of Earth's interior. Recall that inside Earth is flowing lava that rises to the surface. That lava pushes the plates nearest it so it can make place for itself.
Which plates are causing the volcanic action around iceland?
The answer to this question is most likely the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What action is directly responsible for the creation of new land above the sea for the country of Iceland?
Volcanic action. Iceland sits on a 'hot spot' of volcanic activity.
Is there a special rescue squad in Iceland that is called into action after a volcanic eruption?
NO:(
What caused a 2.5 square kilometer landmass to form in the ocean off the coast of Iceland in 1963?
Volcanic action. The island is called Surtsey.
What major island mass lies on the axis of the mid-atlantic ridge?
Iceland
What caused the earth to shift?
Volcanic action between the edges of tectonic plates are forcing them to move apart, and the plates are floating on the fluid, molten magma beneath the crust.
How much percent was created by volcanic action?
many what were created by volcanic action
When was Volcanic Action of My Soul created?
Volcanic Action of My Soul was created in 1969.
Why isn't the earth cratered like the moon?
Weathering, volcanic action and plate tectonic action means that the surface of the Earth is constantly changing and meteor impact craters are eroded away . The surface of the moon is dead and there are no processes to remove the craters from its surface.
Why do oceanic islands sink after they form?
Oceanic islands can sink over time due to various factors such as tectonic movements, volcanic activity ceasing, or erosion wearing down the island's structure. As the island's underlying tectonic plate moves or volcanic activity slows, the island can gradually subside below sea level. Erosion from wave action and other environmental processes can also contribute to the sinking of oceanic islands.
If old mountains wear down over the course of millions of years what is oof the primary reasons that mountains still exist?
Mountains still exist because of the ongoing tectonic processes that create and uplift them, such as plate collisions and volcanic activity. Additionally, erosion plays a role in shaping mountains by wearing them down gradually, but the uplift from geological processes counteracts this erosion, helping to maintain their height and structure over long periods of time.
Why isn't the Earths created like the moon and Mercury?
because of volcanic action, erosion and and tectonic plates grinding agaist each other it makes the Earth rocky and rough, but not making it cratered like the moon and mercury.
