What else can I help you with?
Which theory support that earthquakes and volcanic eruption are common on the western edge of the pacific ocean?
plate tectonics
What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
What are the following terms best describes the concept that molten rock emanates from the edge of a plate on the Earths crust pushing rock on the other side into a trench?
plate Tectonics
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
How does the plate tectonics effect the himalaya mountains?
The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, where the Indian Plate is pushing northwards into the Eurasian Plate. This convergence continues to uplift the Himalayas, making them one of the youngest and tallest mountain ranges in the world. Plate tectonics is the driving force behind the geological processes that shape and elevate the Himalayas.
What happens when to tectonics plate collide?
an earthquake
Why does NZ have so many earthquakes?
Because New Zealand is on the edge of the plate tectonics.
What happens when plate tectonics bump into each other?
an earth quake
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes located?
Mostly on the edge of plate tectonics, but not all the time so bear that in mind
Where do volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.
Which theory support that earthquakes and volcanic eruption are common on the western edge of the pacific ocean?
plate tectonics
What often happens when the plate tectonics grind past each other?
Earthquakes
What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
What are the following terms best describes the concept that molten rock emanates from the edge of a plate on the Earths crust pushing rock on the other side into a trench?
plate Tectonics
Which of geologic processes formed most of californias nonmetalic mineral resources?
plate tectonics
