What process creates a formation geology?

Formations are created by geologic processes such as sedimentation, erosion, volcanism, and plate movements.


Do transform plate movements cause volcanoes?

Yup


What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?

The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.

Why is that transform faults can be used to figure out the directions of the plate movements?

Transform faults will offset rock units by tens, hundreds, or thousands of miles over geologic time, thus showing the relative movement of a plate boundary.

Does Uranus have plate movement?

No it does not have plate movements.


When plate movements cause the crust to bend downward a what is formed?

When a plate is pushed under an adjacent plate, the process is called subduction. The subducted crust melts into the core and is recycled. When the plate goes into the mantel it is heated to very high temperatures and turns into metamorphic rock.


What is a plate tactonics?

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with each other at the boundaries. These plate movements are responsible for various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
