What is created at the Juan de fueca ridge?
The Juan de Fuca Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge where new oceanic crust is created as tectonic plates pull apart. This process is driven by magma rising from the Earth's mantle, solidifying at the ridge crest, and forming new crust as it spreads outward.
Describe how seafloor spreading occurs along the Juan de Fuca ridge?
scientist discovered that when axial erupted, boiling hot water shot up out of the volcano followed by a great amount of super hot lava much of this filled part of the gap between pacific plate and the juan de fuca plate creating a new seafloor
Examples of transform fault?
San Andreas Fault is very famous example of transform fault, which connects the Juan de Fuca ridge with the Gulf of California ridge.
What underwater ridge has formed where the North and South American plates meet the African and Eurasian plates?
The Juan De Fuca
What underwater ridge has formed where North and South American plates meet the African and Eurasian plates?
The Juan De Fuca
The explorer ridge is the boudary between the explorer plate and the?
The explorer ridge is the boundary between the explorer plate and the Pacific Plate.
How was the Juan de fuca strait formed?
The Juan de Fuca Strait was formed by tectonic plate movement along the Cascadia Subduction Zone where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. This process has created a deep and narrow waterway between Vancouver Island in Canada and the Olympic Peninsula in the United States.
What two boundaries exist that cause the volcanoes to exist along the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest?
The two boundaries responsible for the volcanoes along the Cascade Range are the subduction zone between the Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate, causing the Cascade Volcanic Arc, and the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Juan de Fuca Plate, triggering the formation of the Juan de Fuca Ridge.
Where is San Juan hill located?
San Juan Hill is a north-south oriented ridge located just over one mile east of "Santiago de Cuba" on the island of Cuba. It is the site of a famous battle that occurred during the Spanish-American War on July 1st of 1898, in which future president Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt participated with distinction.
What fracture zones plates and ridges are associated with Cascadia's fault line?
Cascadia's fault line is primarily associated with the Juan de Fuca Plate, which subducts beneath the North American Plate along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This region features several fracture zones, including the Gorda Ridge and the Juan de Fuca Ridge, which are mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed. The tectonic activity in this area is characterized by the interaction of these plates, leading to significant seismic activity, including the potential for large megathrust earthquakes.
