What drives plate motion?
Plate tectonics is the name given to the forces that drive plate motion. Scientists don't know what causes the natural phenomenon of plate tectonics.
What kind of motion occurs at a transform plate boundary?
The motion created is, 1 plate moves in one direction, while the second plate moves in the opposite direction.
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
What are reverse faults created by?
convergent plate motion

What type of plate motion crates a reverse fault?
The answer is by convergent plate motion.
What produces the forces that form volcanoes and cause earthquakes?
Tectonic plate motion.

What is plate motions?
Motion of plates
What is a swash plate pump?
A swash plate is a way of going from rotary motion to linear motion without using a crankshaft. A swash plate pump is a piston pump that uses a swash plate instead of a crankshaft.
What type of motion does the African plate have?
