What else can I help you with?
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.
On what tectonic plate would I find many reverse faults synclines and anticlines.?
You would find many reverse faults, synclines, and anticlines on the convergent boundaries of tectonic plates, particularly where the Eurasian Plate meets the Indian Plate, such as in the Himalayas. These geological structures form as a result of compressional forces that occur when two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure causes the Earth's crust to fold and fracture, leading to the formation of these features.
What type of plate is plate a what about plate b. what do you say so?
To provide an accurate answer, I would need specific details about "plate a" and "plate b," such as their characteristics or context. Generally, if plate a is an oceanic plate, it would be denser and thinner compared to plate b, which might be a continental plate, characterized by being thicker and less dense. The classification is based on geological features and tectonic activity.
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
What are the names and locations of tectonic plates?
There are a number of websites that provide maps or diagrams showing the major tectonic plates. Perhaps one of the best is that produced by the US Geological Survey. Please see the related link.
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.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
What if earths magnetic field was fixed in place and the polarity didn't reverse what effect would this have on our observations of seafloor basalts?
If Earth's magnetic field was fixed without reversals, newly-formed seafloor basalts would only show one magnetic orientation. This uniformity would make it harder to track the movement of tectonic plates or determine the age of the seafloor using magnetic stripes. It would also impact our understanding of plate tectonics and Earth's geology.
Where would a volcano form?
at tectonic plate boundaries
Imagine that Earth and acirc and 128 and 153s magnetic field was fixed in place and the polarity didn't reverse. What effect would this have on our observations of seafloor basalts?
If Earth's magnetic field was fixed in place and did not reverse polarity, seafloor basalts would display a consistent magnetic orientation, making it more challenging to track long-term changes in Earth's magnetic field. This could impact our ability to study plate tectonics, as we rely on changes in magnetic polarity recorded in seafloor basalts to understand the movement of tectonic plates over time.
What is the smallest tectonic plate in Canada?
The smallest tectonic late in Canada would be: Juan De Fuca
What are the Hawaii lslands made of?
A fixed "hot spot" (magma/hot lava) accumulated under the tectonic plate in that area. Imagine a volcano under the sea floor there. The "volcano" would erupt and create an island. Over time, the tectonic plate would move but the "volcano" would not. The hot spot (volcano) would erupt again but on a different part of the tectonic plate.
What are the reasons for the Himalayas?
They occurred because the Indian tectonic plate is being pushed into the Asiatic tectonic plate. This is similar to what would happen it you shoved two pieces of play dough together.
What name is given to a block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid outermost part of the mantle?
A tectonic plate is the name given to a block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid outermost part of the mantle. These plates move across the Earth's surface due to the movement of magma underneath.
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change Tectonic plates would?
If the asthenosphere stopped flowing due to cooling, tectonic plate movement in the lithosphere would likely slow down or even halt. The asthenosphere's convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates by dragging them along as they flow. Without this driving force, the movement of tectonic plates would be significantly impacted, leading to reduced or stagnant plate motion.
What would happen if a tectonic plate would go under the other?
A chain reaction would happen causing either a vocano and/or an earthquake
