Why are there cliffs and volcanoes near cliffs?
Cliffs are typically formed by erosion or tectonic activity, while volcanoes form due to shifts in tectonic plates and the buildup of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is possible to find cliffs near volcanoes if the same tectonic forces that create volcanic activity also contribute to the formation of cliffs through uplift and erosion processes.
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
Where the plates move together we get what?
According to the theory of plate tectonics, when plates move together volcanoes form.ANS2:Where plates collide, mountains form. Where a plate is subducted (is pushed under another plate), volcanoes form on the other side of the subduction zone.
What 2 tectonic plates move to each other with one going down and the other going over top?
It is the oceanic plate that is subducted into the melting zone as it is the denser out of that and the continental plate. In fact, the continental plates have been known to chant such provocations as "going down going down going down" and "who's your daddy!" in the subduction zone.
What was the process in forming the Rocky Mountains?
it is when two convergent plate converge (come together) and instead of one plate subducting (going under) under another and forming a volcano they both push up and form mountains. That was how Mount Everest was formed and Mount Everest is still growing because both of the plates are still pushing up.This process is called folding. :D
Why are mountain ranges so high?
Mountain ranges are formed when tectonic plates collide or move away from each other, causing the Earth's crust to fold, uplift, and create high elevations. The force of this movement pushes rocks upwards, forming the peaks and ridges seen in mountain ranges. Additionally, volcanic activity can contribute to the creation of high mountain ranges as magma rises to the surface and solidifies as igneous rock.
Are mountains a place or thing?
Mountains are geological formations, which means they are physical things rather than a location or place. They are formed through tectonic processes such as plate movements, volcanic activity, and erosion. Mountains can be found in various locations around the world, but they themselves are considered physical entities rather than just a place.
Examples of objects going under energy transfer?
a pool ball knocking into another one causing it to move
What happens as result of the sudden shift between two tectonic plates?
A sudden shift between two tectonic plates would result in an earthquake. If the earthquake was strong enough, and eneath the sea bed, the water would form very large waves going onto land, causing a tsunami.
How might earth surface change as tectonic plates continue moving?
As tectonic plates continue to move, Earth's surface may experience changes such as the formation of new mountains, the opening of ocean basins, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. These movements can also lead to the shifting of coastlines, the creation of new landforms, and the potential for the formation of natural resources like oil and minerals.
When was Going Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains created?
Going Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains was created in 1973.
What happens as a result of the sudden shift between two tectonic plates?
A sudden shift between two tectonic plates would result in an earthquake. If the earthquake was strong enough, and eneath the sea bed, the water would form very large waves going onto land, causing a tsunami.
Where are waterfalls in Switzerland?
Lots of places. Mountains, Rivers going off mountains, Lakes; Anywhere
How tall will the Rocky Mountains be in one million years?
Taller than the Mt. Everest because the tectonic plates on the east side of the worlds are moving slower than the plates on the west (where the Rockies are located) the plates are going to push up taller than Everest.
Are mountains formed when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
i think that mountains form when volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean because they first make plates that pull and push and they push until they make a mountain and they never let go of pushing they just keep on going and going.
What do you trouble shoot if a fuel injector fuse keeps blowing and you saw a small amount of smoke from one of the wires going into the engine?
Trace that wire back and see if it might be grounding out on another metal surface or another wire might be grounding itself out causing a arc effect causing the smoke.
Can you drive from Tampa Fl to Cookeville Tn without going through mountains?
No, Cookeville itself is located in the mountains.
