Pacific Plate, Antarctic Plate, Nazca Plate
What tectonic plate is el chichon on?
Its located on a tectonic plate people stop being lazy ask dont work hehe thanks <3 jenny
What are the 8 minor lithospheric plates?
7
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
What caused the Chilean earthquake in the 1960?
Chilean earthquakes are normally the result of thrust faulting at the convergent boundary between the Nazca and South American plates. For further information on the tectonic setting see below: Chile is on the western coast of the continent of South America, this is the boundary between two tectonic plates, the Nazca plate (which is an oceanic plate) and the South American plate (a continental crustal plate). In this region the Nazca and South American plates 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.

How do you make a tectonic plate project?
make a 3-D diagram showing all the types of plate formations that your learning about!
What kind of three faults occur at different plate boundaries?
Trasform(plates sliding past each other.) Converging(plates colliding.) Divergent(plates moving away.) These are 3 different types of plate boundries
What tectonic plate is Guatemala part of?
this is a tough question. dont take my word for it, but maybe i can clarify. there are 3 tectonic plates in that area. the north american plate, caribbean plate, and the co cos plate. guatemala remember, is right under mexico. so its really close to the caribbean plate. i personally think it on the north american plate. please rate this and hope i helped thnx! :) ☺
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
Are there any possibilities of having 3 or more tectonic plates meeting at a point to form a kind of multiple plates boundary?
The point where three different tectonic plates meet is known as a triple junction. One famous example is the Mendocino Triple Junction where the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate and the Gorda Plate meet.
What plates was involved in the japan earthquake?
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
How many types of convergent plate boundaries are there?
3 main destructive (towards) constructive (apart) passive (alongside) there is another one but it is similar to destructive where the plates go towards but there is a different out come

7
Why Mekong river runs through 3 countries?
it is due to the boundries of 3 different countries.
What are three types of plate boundaries and how are they different?
Slip slide Reverse thrust Normal I think that's right. School sucks.The 3 types of tectonic plate boundaries are: constructive boundary, destructive boundary and conservative boundary.
