What is the process of heavier plates moving under lighter plates called?
Subduction!
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What are the moving plates Compared?
The tectonic plates are compared to movable dish washer safe plates to what is physically disabled. Also the plates are called pickles so eat it.
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Both transform boundaries and divergent boundaries involve movement of Earth's tectonic plates. However, transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving away from each other.
Boundary between two plates that are moving apart?
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
What is an synonym for tectonic plates?

What is a synonym for mid ocean ridge?
A synonym for mid-ocean ridge is oceanic ridge. These underwater mountain ranges are formed by tectonic plates moving apart and are characterized by volcanic activity and the creation of new oceanic crust.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What is another word for tectonic plates?

What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
Do the continental plates remain in one place?

What are two plates moving away known as?

What is a synonym for updraft?

What happens when two continental plates?
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
What are the kind of large plates of earth that keep moving?
tectonic plates?
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
