What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Living things play no role in physical or chemical weathering?
true
What role does physical weathering play in the formation process of sandstone?
question: What role does weathering play in the formation of soil? answer: soil forms as rock is broken down by weathering and mixes with other materials on the surface.
How does tornado alley start?
It is difficult to define the start of Tornado Alley as it is a region, not an event. The steps toward its formation took millions of years as North America took on its modern geography with the formation of the Rockies and the Great Plains. The final piece likely came into play at the end of the last ice age when the climate across North America became warm enough to support significant tornado activity.
How does density play a role in the atmosphere?
it doesnt play a role
What force causes rock to change into a different rock?
Heat, pressure, weather, gravity, plate tectonics--all play a part in the rock cycle.
How does the physical geography of northern Africa play a role in the cultural divide?
The physical geography of northern Africa plays a large role in the cultural divide because the environment is different. There are different resources available.
How does plate tectonics play a role in the formation and eruption and volcanoes?
Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
What role did the physical geography of Eurasia play in the establishment of silk road trade routes?
the silk roue is a good
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
What mechanism is most responsible for generating the internal heat of lo that drives the volcanic activity?
The heat responsible for volcanic activity is essentially the magma within the mantle. Plate tectonics also a play a hug role in the formation of volcanoes, such as the plate boundary of which it was formed. The tectonics of the environment of which this volcano was derived will determine the way in which the magma/heat is formed.
What role does plate tectonics play in the rock cycle?
Well I work as a scientist and have to deals with questions like this so they typed of rocks and how they morph you know igneous metamorphic and sedimentary
How does the physical geography of an area help to determine the economic activities of a particular area?
The physical geography of an area can play a major role in the economic activities of that particular area. For example, prairie areas tend to be the breadbaskets of their countries while areas by the coasts are involved with maritime activities.
What role did plate tectonics play in determining the condition that produced North America's coal reserves?
Plate tectonics played a crucial role in the formation of North America's coal reserves. About 300 million years ago, during the Pennsylvanian period, North America was a landmass located near the equator. The collision of tectonic plates and subsequent oceanic crust subduction created sedimentary basins that gradually filled with organic material, which eventually formed into coal deposits due to heat and pressure. Thus, plate tectonics provided the necessary geological conditions for the creation of North America's coal reserves.
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What role did geography play in fighting that took place in the west?
geography played in the west
How is geography and basketball connected?
you play basketball on the ground n geography is about the ground
