What happens when the north American plate move with the Eurasian plate move?
When the North American plate moves with the Eurasian plate, it can lead to tectonic activity such as earthquakes and mountain building along the plate boundary. This movement is a result of the larger process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several plates that interact with each other at their boundaries.
What is the sections of the earth that move about and cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
They are called tectonic plates. There are : Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Caribbean Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, Philippine Plate, Indo-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate.
What is the nojima fault type?
It is a destructive plate boudary and it is where the Eurasian Plate, the Philippine sea plate and the pacific plate
Was L'Aquila earthquake a conservative plate boundary?
No, the L'Aquila earthquake was not caused by a conservative plate boundary. It was associated with the movement along a normal fault within the Eurasian Plate. Normal faulting occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where plates move away from each other, rather than at conservative plate boundaries where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Which two tectonic plate are seperated by a mid-ocean ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate in the northern segment, while it separates the South American Plate and the African Plate in the southern segment. This mid-ocean ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.
How did the two plates move in the Asian tsunami 2004?
the India Plate and the Eurasian Plate pushed into each other, until the Indian Plate was pushed UNDER the Eurasian Plate, causing the Eurasian Plate to be raised up 10m
What happens when the north American plate move with the Eurasian plate move?
When the North American plate moves with the Eurasian plate, it can lead to tectonic activity such as earthquakes and mountain building along the plate boundary. This movement is a result of the larger process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several plates that interact with each other at their boundaries.
Why is Japan a destructive plate margin?
Continental crust (Eurasian Plate) and oceanic crust (pacific plate) move towards each other, oceanic crust sinks because its denser, this forms deep sea trenches and volcanoes
How many major tectonic plates are there on earth?
There are 7 major tectonic plates on Earth: the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate. These plates are huge sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact, leading to geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
How was the Mid-Atlantic Ridge formed?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was formed by the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and Eurasian Plate (to the east) and the South American Plate and African Plate (to the west). As these plates move away from each other, magma rises to the surface, solidifies, and forms new oceanic crust, creating the ridge.
What direction do plate tectonics move in?
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
What way did the Krakatoa plates move?
The Krakatoa plates moved in a convergent manner, where the Indo-Australian Plate subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This movement led to the intense volcanic activity and eventual eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.
What is the sections of the earth that move about and cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
They are called tectonic plates. There are : Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Caribbean Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, Philippine Plate, Indo-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate.
What is the nojima fault type?
It is a destructive plate boudary and it is where the Eurasian Plate, the Philippine sea plate and the pacific plate
What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.
How many plate tectonics move in a year?
Penis
Term that describes the puzzle piece appearance of the coasts of afrcia and south America?
probably plate tectonics? every continent is on a separate plate, and the plates move 2cm every year.
