What else can I help you with?
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
What is the definition of the word plate boundaries?
See related link below.Plates are big sheets of rock that move by the convection in the mantle. And a boundary is a line that marks the limits of an area also called a dividing line. So the plates on the crust that are constantly moving have names for ex: the pacific plate which is under the pacific ocean the boundary is the place where the plates meet on all sides(where the pacific plate ends).
Can I see a map showing the tectonic plates location in U.S.?
Tectonic plate boundaries in the US include the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, and Juan de Fuca Plate. The San Andreas Fault marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is the boundary between the Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate in the Pacific Northwest.
What type of plate boundaries is shown in the diagram?
convergent oceanic-continental boundary
On the geographic map shown above write the letter d on the plate boundary locations where the indicated movement.?
I'm unable to view the geographic map you are referring to, but plate boundaries are locations where tectonic plates interact. The movement at these boundaries can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving towards each other), or transform (sliding past each other). You can mark the letter "d" on the plate boundary locations that indicate transform movement.
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
What plate boundary is Haiti on?
Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. Please see the related question.
What type of plate boundary is found near Haiti?
A strike-slip plate boundary is found near Haiti, specifically the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. This boundary is associated with the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system that runs through the region.
What type of plate boundary runs across iceland?
Iceland is situated on a divergent plate boundary known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Please see the related links.
What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
What is the closest plate boundary to Vancouver Canada?
The closest plate boundary to Vancouver, Canada is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, located offshore along the west coast. This subduction zone is where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate, causing the potential for large earthquakes and tsunamis in the region.
What is a zone where rock surfaces are pushing together?
We see tectonic plates pushing together in what is called a convergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary was the Andes mountain range formed at?
The Andes mountain range was formed at a convergent boundary where the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are colliding. This collision has caused the crust to be uplifted and folded, creating the impressive mountain range we see today.
What type of boundary did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
The Haiti earthquake that occurred in 2010 was a result of a strike-slip boundary where the North American Plate and Caribbean Plate slid past each other horizontally along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
What plate boundary was the Chilean earthquake on?
The earthquake occurred at a convergent boundary between the Nazca and South American plates which are converging at a rate of approximately 80mm / year. The dense oceanic crust of the Nazca plate is being forced under or subducted beneath the less dense continental crust of the South American Plate.
What boundary is formed when two plates are being pulled away from each other?
A divergent boundary is formed when two plates move away from each other. This boundary is characterized by the creation of new seafloor or continental crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.
