A soft collision between two plates could possibly stop the plates from moving for a time. But if subduction occurs, when one plate is forced down into the magma, movement would begin once more.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it unlikely that some of the tectonic plates will stop moving?
The lithosphere and sea floor spreading are both factors in the movement of tectonic plate movement. As there is no foreseeable reason for the currents to stop, there is also no foreseeable reason for all tectonic plate movement to stop.
What would happen to the plates if the asthenosphere below them cooled and became solid?
If the asthenosphere beneath the plates cooled and solidified, the plates would no longer be able to move freely as they do now. This would likely result in decreased tectonic activity and potentially decrease in the movement of the plates over time.
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
What does moving of techtonic plates cause?
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
The places between plates moving together are called?
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
How do tectonic plates stop moving?
It will stop moving in 200 million years.
Is it possible textonic plates will stop moving in the future?
no
how does Earthquake end?
earth plates stop moving
What force causes the earths plates to stop moving?
The Almighty God.
What would happen to the earths plates if the mantle completely cooled down?
They'd stop moving.
Why is it unlikely that some of the tectonic plates will stop moving?
The lithosphere and sea floor spreading are both factors in the movement of tectonic plate movement. As there is no foreseeable reason for the currents to stop, there is also no foreseeable reason for all tectonic plate movement to stop.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What is another word for tectonic plates?
moving plates
Do the continental plates remain in one place?
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
Why earthquakes heppene?
because their are little plates under the ground and they go up and down. whenever they get stop moving/ get stuck an earthquake will appear
