What are tectonic plates and why are they important to us?
A plate tectonics is a theory that describes the formation movements and interaction
What tectonic plate is Mt Hood on?
tectonic plate for mt hood
What tectonic plate is Portugal on?
Portugal is on the Eurasian Plate but it borders the African Plate
What is an example of a slab-pull?
Slab pull is a tectonic process that occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where a denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at subduction zones. An example of slab pull can be observed at the Mariana Trench, where the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the Mariana Plate. The weight of the sinking slab exerts a pulling force on the rest of the tectonic plate, contributing to tectonic movement and the dynamics of plate tectonics.
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
What is another name for the plate tectonic theory?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
What theory led to the plate tectonic theory?
James Hanslow
How did sonar contribute to the plate tectonic theory?
figure it out
What is the name of the theory that led to the development of the theory of plate tectonic?
squat-thrust
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What does plate tectonic theory tell us?
Nothing, it's a theory, like evolution!
What does the theory of plate tectonics suggest about the creation of deep sea trenches?
The theory of plate tectonics suggests that deep sea trenches are formed at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This process occurs as a result of the movement of tectonic plates, leading to the creation of deep sea trenches through the process of plate convergence.
How does plate tectonic theory explains the distribution of mineral resources?
yes.
Who is considered the father o plate tectonic theory?
alfred wegner
Who is credited with the plate tectonic theory?
The plate tectonic theory was primarily developed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century. He proposed the idea of continental drift, which later laid the foundation for our modern understanding of plate tectonics.
What was the theory proposed before the plate tectonic theory list 2 evidence in support of the the former theory?
god is angry
