What else can I help you with?
Name two of the tectonic plates?
Some tectonic plates are the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
What tectonic plate is New Jersey on?
New Jersey is located on the North American tectonic plate.
Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are a result of the movement of tectonic plates, not the cause. While earthquakes can provide valuable data about the behavior of different plate boundaries, they do not directly affect the overall movement of tectonic plates.
What is the closeset tectonic plate to Oklahoma?
Oklahoma is situated in the middle of the North American plate.
Which tectonic plate is Beijing on?
The Eurasian Plate
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
How do plate tectonics explains mudslides tornadoes ocean currents and trenches?
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
How do tectonic plate movements affected climate?
They don't directly, but the associated volcanism may, if sufficiently powerful, cause temporary climate changes by shooting vast quantities of gas and dust high into the atmosphere. Plate collisions can also cause mountain ranges to form which can affect regional climates. For instance, the climate of the Atacama Desert is largely due to the rise of the Andes Mountain Chain, the product of plate collision. Merging and separating continents can also affect climate patterns by altering ocean currents and air circulation patterns.
What one way tectonic plate movement affects climate?
I think it keeps the air temp. constant.
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
What occurs at a dee-ocean?
what occurs when plate tectonic formwhat occurs when plate tectonic formwhat occurs when plate tectonic form
How much affect does the moon have on plate tectonics?
My opinion is very little. The Moon's gravity pulls uniformly on both sides of a tectonic plate.
What tectonic plate is Mt Hood on?
tectonic plate for mt hood
What kind of tectonic plate is the eurasian plate?
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
