Is the Pacific plate and oceanic plate or continental plate?
It is oceanic
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
How are the Earths continents linked together?
There is land beneath the oceans, tectonic plate boundaries separate land masses.
How do continental mountain ranges form?
The tectonic plate movement forms folds in the land over long expansions of time, therefore creating mountains. If you have a continental mountain range, the tectonic plate movement has been moving in that area for a long time.
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.
Is New York over a tectonic plate?
yes, all land masses are on one tectonic plate or another.
Why is Greenland a island and not a continent?
Greenland is considered an island because it is surrounded by water on all sides and is smaller than the traditional continents. The classification of continents is based on factors such as size, geology, and cultural significance. Greenland, while geographically large, does not meet all the criteria to be classified as a continent.
What is a plate and what is the theory of plate tectonic?
The Plate Tectonic theory tells us that there are plates on which peices of sea/ land occurs. On these boundaries, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur the most.
What is a large land of mass?
A tectonic plate. When they move, they cancreate earthquakes!
Is the Pacific plate and oceanic plate or continental plate?
It is oceanic
Why is New Guinea considered an island?
New Guinea is an island because, first and foremost, it is surrounded by water. It is not a continent because it does not sit on its own tectonic plate: it shares the same land mass as Australia.
What is a large moving mass of land?
A tectonic plate. When they move, they cancreate earthquakes!
What major land masses are on the pacific plate?
There are no major land masses on the Pacific tectonic plate. There are a few various groups of islands, but nothing "major".
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
How are the Earths continents linked together?
There is land beneath the oceans, tectonic plate boundaries separate land masses.
Is the movement of plates to form land masses is called plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates* :DD
What is the possible connection between the constant processes of plate tectonics and natural selection?
Plate tectonic can lead to the isolation of continental or island land masses where the processes of natural selection result in life forms unique to that land mass. This is because competition is not possible between the populations of a isolated land mass and the rest of the Earth's population.
