What do interactions at plate boundaries do?
an earthoquake occurs
Is the American and Cocos plate convergent or divergent?
The American Plate and the Cocos Plate are convergent tectonic plates. The Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate along the Middle America Trench, leading to volcanic activity in the region, such as in Central America. This convergence can also cause earthquakes due to the intense geological interactions at their boundary.
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!
What are the three main symbols representing plate interactions?
The three main symbols representing plate interactions are convergent boundaries (symbolized by a "V" or "+"), divergent boundaries (symbolized by a "<" or ">"), and transform boundaries (symbolized by a single line).
What is the movement and interactions of plates called?
It's generally referred to as plate tectonics.
What do interactions at plate boundaries do?

What plate interaction is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate interactions.

Are mountains caused by plate interactions?
Often times yes, but not always.

How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!

What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What is the continental slope of the pacific ocean?
Volcanic activity, earthquakes, plate interactions
What is the movement and interactions of plates called?
It's generally referred to as plate tectonics.
How do plates cause earthquakes and what are the mechanisms behind their interactions leading to seismic activity?
Tectonic plates cause earthquakes when they move against each other, creating stress that eventually releases as seismic energy. The main mechanisms behind their interactions include subduction, where one plate slides beneath another, and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. These interactions can result in sudden movements that generate earthquakes.
What cause divergent plate boundaries?
they cause earthquakes
