If plate motion compresses part of the crust what landforms will form there in millions of years?
When tectonic plates diverge (that is, move apart) they open up to the earth's mantle, thus letting magma escape out to the earth's crust, causing land to form.
Transversely, when plates converge (that is, come together) one shifts on top of the other, causing mountains to form, they slide past each other, causing earthquakes, or they both bow inwards, causing a dip in the land.
However, this all takes thousands upon thousands of years.
I hope that helped.
What else can I help you with?
Is landforms all apart Earth's crust?
MMN
On which layer of the earth would you find landforms?
Landforms are found on the Earth's uppermost layer, called the lithosphere. The lithosphere includes the solid outer crust of the Earth and the rigid upper part of the mantle. This is where geological processes like plate tectonics shape and form landforms such as mountains, valleys, and plains.
What are three landforms produceed by compression in the crust?
Volcanoes, mountains, and subduction lines.
Which layer contains continents and other landforms?
The Earth's continents and other landforms are located in the lithosphere, which is the outermost solid layer of the Earth. The lithosphere consists of the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle. It is broken into several tectonic plates that interact with each other.
Landforms formed by forces pushing up earths crust?
Mountains and plateaus are landforms that are typically formed by the forces of tectonic plates pushing against each other, causing the Earth's crust to uplift. This process is known as crustal deformation and results in the creation of large elevated landmasses.
Is mt Whitney on the crust mantle or core?
It is on the crust. All landforms you see are part of the crust.
What is located on top of the continental crust?
landforms
Is landforms all apart Earth's crust?
MMN
Which of the following landforms result from divergence of continental crust?
a rift valley
What happens when the plate motions compresses part the crust?
where do you expect to find the oldest rock on the ocean floor
