What provides the most evidence for the theory of plate tectonics?
Faults and volcanoes are often found at tectonic plates boundaries
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
What type of volcanic eruptions seems to occur most often where plates are crunching together?
Stratovolcanoes are usually found along convergent plate boundaries where an ocean plate is pushed under another ocean plate or a continental plate (subduction zone). If you are referring to convergent boundaries in which neither plate is subducted but both are pushed up to form mountains, then my answer would have to be that it is very rare for a volcano to form at this type of boundary.
How are mid ocean ridges and trenches similar?
Both ridges and trenches are boundaries between lithospheric (tectonic) plates.
What surface features are most often found at boundaries such as those between the south American and African plates?
Mid-ocean ridges
Ridges tectonic plate boundaries and hydrothermal vents are physical features found on your planet Where are these features found most often?
at the bottom of the sea near the mid ocean ridge
What provides the most evidence for the theory of plate tectonics?
Faults and volcanoes are often found at tectonic plates boundaries
Where are many volcano found?
They are often found at tectonic plate boundaries.
What tectonic plate is primarily comprised of seafloor crust?
Divergent plate boundaries are often found on the ocean floorâ??s crust. These are the type of tectonic plates that produce volcanoes and rifts.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Where are crystals often found?
bottom of the ocean
Where are benthos often found?
Bottom of the ocean
What are plate boundary settings?
There are three main plate boundaries, convergent plate boundaries,divergent plate boundaries and transform fault boundaries. Convergent plate boundaries are when the plates collide together, this often causes mountain building. Divergent plate boundaries are when plates are moving apart, this is what caused the Mid Atlantic Ridges. Transform Fault Boundaries is when they move past each other horizontally, this boundary dosent cause any new landforms.
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Is rhyolite formed at convergent plate boundaries?
That is most often where it occurs, but it can also be found at continental hot spots.
