What else can I help you with?
What do earthquakes volcanoes mineral deposits ocean trenches and mountain ranges all have in common?
they all occur along plate boundaries
What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction zones occur along ocean trenches where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another. This process causes deep focus earthquakes because the descending plate generates intense pressure and friction as it moves deeper into the Earth's mantle. In contrast, mid-ocean ridges are areas where tectonic plates move apart, causing shallow earthquakes.
What is formed along a coastline at convergent plate boundaries?
Subduction zones are formed along coastlines at convergent plate boundaries. In this process, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the creation of trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes near the coastline.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
Continental margins near converging plates are often characterized by subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath the other. This leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Earthquakes and mountain building can also occur along these margins as a result of the intense tectonic activity.
Do deep sea trenches cause damage?
Deep sea trenches are caused by one tectonic plate subducting under another. It is not the trenches which cause damage, it is the earthquakes caused by the subducting of one plate moving against the other.
What make trenches in the ocean?
Deep ocean trenches can be formed by undersea earthquakes, land-slides, but also by the movement along the edges of tectonic plates.
What is the relationship between the location of earthquakes volcanoes trenches and plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.
What do earthquakes volcanoes mineral deposits ocean trenches and mountain ranges all have in common?
they all occur along plate boundaries
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes of the occur relative to ocean trenches?
within or adjacent to trenches
What are converge trenches?
Convergent trenches are deep oceanic features where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This movement can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, earthquakes, and the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle. Many of the Earth's largest and deepest earthquakes occur along convergent trenches.
What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction zones occur along ocean trenches where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another. This process causes deep focus earthquakes because the descending plate generates intense pressure and friction as it moves deeper into the Earth's mantle. In contrast, mid-ocean ridges are areas where tectonic plates move apart, causing shallow earthquakes.
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
What do Divergent forms?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What form divergent?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What causes earthquakes volcanoes trenches mid-ocean ridge?
Plate tectonics.
What are safe construction for tsunami?
any underground trenches are not affected by tsunamis, earthquakes etc.
Are major crustal features like earthquakes volcanoes mountains and trenches found randomly on earths surface or is there a pattern?
Major crustal features are not randomly distributed on Earth's surface. They are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of the plates interacts to create geological features like earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and trenches. These features are a result of the dynamic processes associated with plate tectonics.
