What else can I help you with?
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
What is a light colored rock that has high silica?
A light-colored rock that has high silica content is likely to be granite. Granite is a common igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, and is known for its high silica content and light color.
An example of an igneous rock low in silica is granite?
Granite is actually high in silica, which is why it is considered a felsic igneous rock. An example of an igneous rock low in silica is basalt, which is mafic in composition and contains less silica than granite.
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.
Would you expect a light gray igneous rock to be rich or poor in silica?
I would expect a light gray igneous rock to be rich in silica. Light gray color in igneous rocks is often associated with high silica content, which is typical of felsic or granitic compositions.
What is the silica content of magma that would result in pyroclastic flow?
it is normally intermediate flow because of the silica content.
What is the silica of magma that would result in a pyroclastic flow?
it is normally intermediate flow because of the silica content.
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
An example of divergent plate boundary on a continental plate would be what?
The East African Rift Valley
Which magma type resulted in a quiet eruptions?
That would normally be magma with a low silica content.
If you are standing in the middle of the US what type of plate boundary is occurring near you?
You would be standing near a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This boundary can be found in the middle of the North American Plate, spreading along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
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.
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
A convergent boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate. This process, known as subduction, can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
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).
Where would you be most likely to find a boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate?
You would be most likely to find a boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate along a convergent boundary, where the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate. This often leads to the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
