What else can I help you with?
Does the mid-ocean ridge lie completely under water?
Yes, the mid-ocean ridge is mostly underwater, with the crest or summit of the ridge located deep below the ocean's surface. This underwater mountain range is formed by plate tectonics and is where new oceanic crust is created as magma rises and solidifies at divergent plate boundaries.
What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?
The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
Where arctic ocean is lie?
where arctic ocean lies
Where do most of the world's active volcanoes lie?
Most of the world's active volcanoes lie around the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region where several tectonic plates meet. This area encompasses the edges of the Pacific Ocean and is known for its high volcanic and seismic activity.
Where do most of the worlds valcanoes lie?
Most of the world's volcanoes are located along the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean basin, stretching from the west coast of the Americas to Asia. This area is seismically active due to the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in many volcanic eruptions.
Do oceanic plates lie under the ocean?
yes
Do oceanic plates lie under oceans?
yes
Describe oceanic plate?
The definition of an oceanic plate is a tectonic plate plate made mostly of basalt? and I'm not so sure what basalt is but I think it's water.The Oceanic plate is the plate which lies under the ocean. It is made of basalt,which is a heavy rock.
How many plate lie under the pacific ocean?
12
What is the effect of a hot spot on an existing volcano?
They will all dies xdHot spot often lie in the middle of continental or oceanic plates far from any plate boundaries.
Does the mid-ocean ridge lie completely under water?

What does the Atlantic Ocean lie on?
The floors of the oceans, under the sea-bed silt, are primarily basalt, forming a crazy-paving of "Plates" surrounding the granite Continental Plates. Together they form the Earth's Crust, and the latter plates are constantly shuffling around the globe, with the ocean plates being formed and destroyed to accommodate this Continental Drift. The suite of processes is called Plate Tectonics, and although overall of great benefit to life on Earth, the local effects are often extremely destructive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
WHere does the sea lie?
The sea lies on top of the Oceanic crust.
What ocean does Hawaii lie?
The Pacific Ocean.
What tectonic plates does Kashmir lie on?
convergent
What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?
The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
Why do most earthquakes occur only in isolated regions?
The west Pacific Ocean earthquakes usually occur along the joins in the continental plates which lie offshore in most cases.
