The chunks of lithosphere that are scraped off of subducting plates and added to the edge of a continent are called accreted terranes!
What else can I help you with?
Explain how a geologist might determine if rocks are part of an accreted terrane?
A geologist can determine if rocks are part of an accreted terrane by analyzing their mineral composition, age, and structural features. They may conduct radiometric dating to establish the rocks' ages and compare them to the surrounding geological units. Additionally, they can assess the rock's origin and history through geochemical analysis and examining fossil content, looking for characteristics that indicate a different tectonic setting. By integrating these findings, geologists can identify whether the rocks have been added to a continental margin through tectonic processes.
What is it that tells a geologist when where and how an organism lived?
a blank is the cavity left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has dissolved
What are some words that have the word part - geo?
geometric geometry geography geology geophysics geopolitical geocentric geologist geothermal geostationary
What part of chromosomes determine traits?
Genes
What part on an object will determine whether it floats?
it is not a part it is the bouancy of the material

A terrane becomes part of a continent in a process called what?
Converging
A terrane becomes part of a continent in a process called?
Converging
What is the definition for accreted terran?
a piece of lithosphere that becomes part of a larger landmass when tectonic plats collide at a convergent boundary
Does a geologist work with rocks and minerals?
yes,it is an integral part of gelogy
What is it that tells a geologist when where and how an organism lived?
a blank is the cavity left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has dissolved
What are Accreted or Exotic Terrains?
Part of the lithosphere that comes off when a plate collides into another plate, and is added to it. This often happens when an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate. As this happens, land masses such as islands are scraped off the top of the subduction plate and added to the overriding plate.
What do you call a person who studies waterfalls?
I think it’s part of geology so a geologist
Would the composition of a mineral be studied by a geologist?
Yes, a geologist would study the composition of a mineral as part of their analysis of rocks and minerals in the Earth's crust. Understanding the chemical and physical properties of minerals helps geologists identify different rock types and formations, as well as the processes that formed them.
Who was the only scientist to visit the moon?
Harrison Hagan "Jack" Schmitt is an American geologist who flew on Apollo 17.
Who is the first scientist walk the moon?
Harrison "Jack" Schmitt was the first (and only) scientist, a geologist, to walk on the moon. He was part of the Apollo 17 crew, landing in December of 1972.
