An example of an igneous rock low in silica is granite?
False. Basalt would be an example of an igneous rock with a low silica content.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
What plate boundary is mt Cleveland?
Mt. Cleveland is a volcano caused by the convergent plate boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. Don't trust me, I just wrote this so that you would actually RESEARCH instead of rely on our answers because I'm stupid.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What is the silica content of magma that would result in pyroclastic flow?
it is normally intermediate flow because of the silica content.
Would you expect to find more metamorphic rocks in the middle of a plate or near a plate boundary?
plate boundary
What is the silica of magma that would result in a pyroclastic flow?
it is normally intermediate flow because of the silica content.
An example of an igneous rock low in silica is granite?
False. Basalt would be an example of an igneous rock with a low silica content.
What kind of Plate boundary is in japan?
Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
An example of divergent plate boundary on a continental plate would be what?
The East African Rift Valley
Where would two plate move apart at the mid ocean ridges?
At a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
Which magma type resulted in a quiet eruptions?
That would normally be magma with a low silica content.
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
