How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
Who is Alfred Weneger?
he is a scientist that involved to the plate tectonics
How has plate tectonics affected the land of Mexico?
it was so big
What are tectonic plates and why are they important to us?
A plate tectonics is a theory that describes the formation movements and interaction
Is there an ancient underwater city in Japan?
Plate tectonics accounts for quite a bit of geologic activity, including the creation of mountains as well as land that drops into the sea. Japan is in a very active geological area, so claims of an ancient city like that seem possible.
How can non-volcanic mountains be created by plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics create mountains by shifting. They ran into each other and the crashes created solid mountains. Mountains are like wrinkles in the earth.
Why are mountains lacated where they are?
Mountains are formed when the plate tectonics overlap
What process is most responsible for building California and mountains?
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.
What is the process when mountains are formed again?
Plate Tectonics.
Samilarties and differences between volvano and plate tectonics?
Volcanos are mountains in which lava comes out and plate tectonics is the theory of plates moving.
What the earth would be like with no plate tectonics?
Their would be no mountains.
Why do mountains occur along side of the red sea?
Due to plate tectonics.
What physical process mainly formed the Great Smoky Mountains?
Plate tectonics
How are mountains formed by plate tectonics?
Mountains are formed by plate tectonics when tectonic plates collide or move past each other. This movement can cause the Earth's crust to fold, buckle, or uplift, creating mountain ranges.
Is the Mojave Desert a result of plate tectonics?
Indirectly, yes. Both the Coastal Mountains and the Sierra Nevada Mountains were forced up by plate tectonics. These mountains block Pacific moisture from moving inland causing a rain shadow desert on the leeward side.
Have found fossils on the top of mountains what do they infer?
Large plate tectonics or the fossils had wings.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
