What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
What happens when pressure is applied to ice crystals?
When pressure is applied to ice crystals, they may melt and transition into water if the pressure exceeds the melting point of ice. This process is known as pressure melting. Under high pressure, ice can also transform directly into water vapor through sublimation without melting first.
Is a mountain convergent divergent or transform?
A mountain is typically formed at convergent boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. This collision causes intense pressure that forces the Earth's crust to uplift and form mountain ranges.
Describe the changes in gas pressure?
The increase in solubility causes increase in pressure.
What is the force that causes volcano to erupt?
Pressure.
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transfrom faults?
Lithospheric plates build up pressure due to the movement of mantle convection currents, which exert forces on the overlying plates. When the force exceeds the strength of the rocks along a transform fault, the built-up pressure is released, causing the plates to give way and produce an earthquake.
What causes a transform boundary?
A transform boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement causes earthquakes along the boundary due to the friction and pressure from the plates interacting.
What causes granite to transform into gneiss?
It is impossible for granite to turn into gneiss it is a scientific impossibility that cannot be done with only heat and pressure :)
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
Interaction between which two regions causes plate movement?
Plate movement is caused by the interaction between the Earth's lithospheric plates at plate boundaries. These plates can move away from each other at divergent boundaries, towards each other at convergent boundaries, or past each other at transform boundaries. The movement of the plates is driven by processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and transform faulting.
Causes for earthquake?
tetonic plates in a transform boundary
What type of fault is in the San Andrea's fault in California?
The San Andreas Fault in California is a transform fault. In a transform fault, two lithospheric plates are grinding alongside each other in different directions. Friction between the plates causes points along the fault to get 'hung up'. When the friction between the plates exceeds the maximum elasticity of the rock, the tension is released, the plates snap into their new positions, and an earthquake occurs.
What type of plate boundry causes shearing?
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
What kind of plate tectonic causes earthquakes?
Transform boundary
What are the causes of abnormal pressure in a well?
causes of abnormal pressure
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
