What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
What caused the 2004 indoneisan tsunami - a divergent convergent or transform plate movement?
The 2004 Indonesian tsunami was caused by a megathrust earthquake along a subduction zone, which involves a convergent plate movement. The Indian Plate subducted beneath the Burma Plate, generating a massive underwater earthquake that resulted in the tsunami.
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
The plate movement that relies on the weight of the subducting crust is called slab pull. As the dense oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a subduction zone, it exerts a pulling force on the rest of the tectonic plate. This pulling force helps drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
Is this true or false The movement of the North America plate and the Nasca plate produced California's major geological features?
True. The movement of the North American plate and the Pacific plate, which includes the Nasca plate, is responsible for the major geological features in California. This movement has created the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between these two plates and has led to earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges in California.
What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
What is a Titanic plate?
A Titanic plate is a collector's item or souvenir plate commemorating the RMS Titanic, a famous ocean liner that sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage. These plates often feature images or information related to the ship and its tragic story.
How thick was the Titanic's hull?
The steel plate from the hull of the Titanic was nominally 1.875 cm thick, while the bulkhead plate had a thickness of 1.25 cm.
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?
Divergent plate movement.
Does Uranus have plate movement?
No it does not have plate movements.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
Which plate appears to have little or no movement at all?
Antarctic plate !
What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
What is the plate on kilauea located?
The Pacific Plate. In the middle of the plate the volcano is rising from the plate movement.
What is different about plate movement in California as compared in Pakistan?
information about what is different about plate movement in califora as compared with pakistan.
