What else can I help you with?
Why is San Francisco at risk from earthquakes and also can you explain the type of plate boundary and movement and include the basic theory of plate tectonics?
The reason why San Francisco and the Bay area are at risk from powerful earthquakes is because of the San Andreas Fault.also, the two tectonic plates, are the pacific plate and the American plate.
What type of plate boundary is Easter Island located on?
Easter Island is located on a hot spot, which is not a plate boundary. The hot spot has created a chain of volcanic islands, with Easter Island being one of them.
What new information led to the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift, sea floor spreading, glacial striation, jigsaw fit of the continents, geological matches on different contintents (such as type of rock or fossil found) ,earthquakes, and volcanoes led to the theory of plate tectonics.
The Ring of Fire is located along what type of plate boundaries?
The Ring of Fire is located along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are colliding. This results in volcanoes, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges around the Pacific Ocean.
What type of plate boundary is Arizona-Grand canyon National park on?
The Arizona-Grand Canyon National Park is located on a tectonic plate boundary known as a transform boundary where the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate interact.
What type of rock is formed not by plate tectonics?
diamonds
Are plate tectonics moving a type of seismic activity?
YES.
Do tornadoes have plate movements?
No. Tornadoes are a type of weather event. They have absolutely nothing to do with plate tectonics.
How is plate tectonics related to landslides?
because it is a type of techtonic plates
What type of plate boundaries should the students study in order to understand seafloor spreading?
plate tectonics
What type of valcano is krakatau?
Krakatau is a stratovlocano or a composite volcano! (there the same type just different names)
What is Mount Krakatau's type?
Smjb
What type of people used the Chinese seismograph?
Chinese seismologists, e.g. scientists who study earthquakes and plate tectonics.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What new led to the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift, sea floor spreading, glacial striation, jigsaw fit of the continents, geological matches on different contintents (such as type of rock or fossil found) ,earthquakes, and volcanoes led to the theory of plate tectonics.
What type of fault caused the Tangshan earthquake?
the uneven heat distribution between the plate tectonics
What type of lava forms krakatau?
red lava
