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.
How has plate tectonics played a role in Canada's fossil fuel?
No it hasn't.
What is the similarity between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics?
Monkey Pants, YEAH
What phenomenon is responsible for moving sedimentary and metamorphic rock into the Earth's interior?
Plate Tectonics.
What area extends from New Zealand to chile?
The Pacific Ocean and in tectonics, the Pacific Plate.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
How do lakes form by tectonic plates?
Everything on Earth is on a tectonic plates. Some lakes form as a result of plate tectonics, but not all. Lakes may form in between mountains or downthrust areas created by plate tectonics. In other cases, though, lakes may form in impact or volcanic craters, areas carved out by glaciers, or on streams dammed by landslides. There are even man-made lakes.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
What are two bad things that can happen as a result of plate tectonics how did plate tectonics cause these events?
Tidal waves, Earthquakes, landslides
What happened because of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics result in changes in the relative positions of continents over time, volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building.
What is the study of internal processes that result in crustal movement?
Plate tectonics.
What can occur to earths surface as a result of plate tectonics?
they shake and crack it.
How do plate tectonics result in the development of earths major geologic features?
No movement
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
How was the Sierra Madre del Sur formed?
It is the result of the plate tectonics interaction between the North American Plate and the Cocos Plate.
Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are really the result of plate tectonics, not the cause. The moving plates touch at their boundaries and then occasionally suddenly slip. The sudden slip are the earthquakes.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
