What else can I help you with?
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?
This movement is called subduction, which occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. This process commonly happens at convergent plate boundaries, where the plates collide and one plate is pushed downward into the Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are known for producing powerful earthquakes and volcanic activities.
What do you call a broken plate?
A broken plate is often referred to as "shattered" or "smashed."
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called?
Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What do you call the type of plate movement where in two plates move away from each other?
Divergent plates
What do geologist call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit?
Geologists call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit a tectonic plate. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact at plate boundaries by either moving apart, colliding, or sliding past each other, leading to various geological phenomena.
What is that call when two plates are moving from each other?
When two plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary because they are dividing.
How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?
This movement is called subduction, which occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. This process commonly happens at convergent plate boundaries, where the plates collide and one plate is pushed downward into the Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are known for producing powerful earthquakes and volcanic activities.
What processes are going on in eastern Africa and what is the triple function?
In East Africa, spreading processes have already torn Saudi Arabia away from the rest of the African continent, forming the Red Sea. The actively splitting African Plate and the Arabian Plate meet in what geologists call a triple junction, which is where the boundaries of three tectonic plates meet.
What would you call sea plates pulling away?
This would be called sea floor spreading, apparent at divergent boundaries.
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
Convergence Boundary.
Is the home plate umpires call on balls and strkes final?
Yes, no other umpire can overrule a ball-strike call.
What do you call the area where two tectonic plates meet?
The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, interactions between the plates can result in processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, or continental collision.
What do you call the type of plate movement wherein two plates move from each other and cause the widening of the sea floor?
That happens at a divergent plate boundary
