Is the part of the mantle called plates is made of soft rock that bends like plastic right?

The Earth's mantle is made up of solid rock that can deform like a plastic under high temperatures and pressures. Tectonic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere (which includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle) that float and move on the underlying semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement of these plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.


What type of fold is created when the crust bends and curves upward?

An Anticline is formed when the crust bends and curves upward.


Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at a?

Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at a subduction zone, typically at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, creating a deep trench and volcanic activity. This process contributes to the recycling of Earth's crust and the formation of mountain ranges and volcanic arcs.


Describe how faults and folds form in Earth's crust?

Faults form when the Earth's crust breaks and the rock on one side moves relative to the rock on the other side. This movement can be caused by tectonic forces, such as compression, tension, or shear. Folds, on the other hand, form when layers of rock are bent due to compressional forces, without breaking or sliding past each other. Both faults and folds are common features in regions where tectonic forces are actively deforming the Earth's crust.

Do whale sharks get the bends?

in order to get the bends you have to be breathing compressed gasses, like from a SCUBA. tank or a deep sea diving compressor


Can you get bends without compressed air?

Yes, bends in metal tubing can be achieved using various methods such as manual bending tools, hydraulic or mechanical presses, mandrel bending machines, or CNC tube bending machines. These methods do not rely on compressed air but rather on mechanical force or precision engineering techniques to achieve the desired bend in the tubing.


When an archer bends a bow what type of energy increases in the bow?

Elastic potential energy because it is the potential energy of an object that is stretched or compressed.


A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends toward the mantle is called what?

A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called an ocean trench. This is caused by two plates pulling apart.


Why is a chewing gum a solid even though it can be compressed and doesnt have a fixed shape?

it does have a fixed shape its just softer then alot of things..think about it metal is a solid and it bends..its just harder to bend it..

Why do you have to take the time to surface during scuba diving?

If you don't the oxygen in the compressed air will come out of solution as the pressure reduces as you surface. If that happens, oxygen bubbles can get into the blood stream, causing a condition known as the bends. Depending on the severity of the bends (which takes into account MANY different conditions), it can range from pain in the joints, to death.


List 3 manufactured bends that can be bought in a wholesalers?

PVC bends, copper bends, and steel bends are commonly manufactured bends that can be purchased at wholesalers. These bends are used in plumbing and HVAC systems for directing the flow of fluids in pipes and tubing.
