What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
How can a folded mountain happen in the middle of a tectonic plate?
The tectonic plate boundaries come together and push up on each other to form mountains.
Why is there no volcanoes in the middle of the Caribbean sea?
The middle of the Caribbean Sea is over the middle of the Caribbean Plate. Most volcanoes form near the edges of tectonic plates. For example, the lesser Antilles are composed in part of volcanoes at the margin of the Caribbean Plate.
What is the name of the tectonic process that has created many of the mountains in Middle and South America?
Most mountains are formed by convergent tectonic plate movements. In this process, tectonic plates crash into each other causing land masses to rise up out of the ground. These processes have formed many of the mountains in Central and South America.
Why is China a target for earthquakes?
It sits in the middle of tectonic plates i believe either that or haarp is being used search for that on you tube very interesting
What is a medieval building?
Medieval buildings are buildings that were built during the Middle Ages.
Would you expect to find more metamorphic rocks in the middle of a plate or near a plate boundary?
Metamorphic rocks are more likely to form near a plate boundary where tectonic forces such as compression and shearing are strong, leading to high temperatures and pressures that are conducive to metamorphism. In contrast, regions in the middle of a plate are generally characterized by lower tectonic activity, and therefore, are less likely to experience the conditions necessary for metamorphism to occur.
What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
What buildings did the rebels of the 1916 Easter rising take over?
many building were destroyed in Dublin City Centre including : Most of the buildings on Lower Sackville Street (now Lwr. O'Connell St.).

Abbey St. Also buildings on Middle Abbey St, and Eden quay. Many other buildings were damaged.
Why haven't new york city buildings been built to withstand earthquakes?
The buildings in New York City have no real reason to be built sturdy enough to survive earthquakes. New York is not in any real danger of earthquakes. This is because New York is in the middle of a tectonic plate. Tectonic plates make up the earth's surface, and the action of these plates rubbing against each other or colliding with each other is what causes earthquakes. A place like San Francisco, on the other hand, is on the edge of a plate, so this is the reason buildings in that area are built stronger.
Hawaii is located near the middle of which tectonic plate?
Hawaii is located near the middle of the Pacific Plate.
What would happen to you if the middle of your spinal cord was damaged?
you will be paralized
How can a folded mountain happen in the middle of a tectonic plate?
The tectonic plate boundaries come together and push up on each other to form mountains.
How many tectonic plates meet in middle America?
Middle America is located at the intersection of four tectonic plates: the North American Plate, the Cocos Plate, the Caribbean Plate, and the Pacific Plate. This convergence results in a complex tectonic setting with various geological features such as subduction zones and volcanic activity.
Why were the buildings important in the middle ages?
super hot mindless behavior
Tender reddish circle around the middle part of a thin cut the part is where you bend your index finger could this be a damaged nerve?
Definitely not. If anything, it could be a little infected. It's most likely nothing.
How many tectonic plates meet in the middle of America?
Three tectonic plates meet in the middle of America: the North American Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Juan de Fuca Plate. This convergent boundary is responsible for the formation of the Rocky Mountains.
