What else can I help you with?
Where does the movement of plates take place?
Every place on earth is on a tectonic plate as the earth crust consists of tectonic plates. And every tectonic plate is constantly in motion (as they float on magma, beneath the crust). Places which suffer most of earthquakes are in between two tectonic plates. an example of such a place is the City of Los Angeles in California. Mid Oceanic ridges and rifts and mountains are also results of plate tectonics.
What type of faulting takes place at ocean ridges?
Normal faulting takes place at ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, tensional forces cause the crust to stretch and thin, leading to the formation of long, parallel normal faults that create the characteristic topography of mid-ocean ridges.
What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
What happens when convergent plate movement occur?
A convergent boundary of two plates will push together. If it is two continental crusts, then they will both push upward, forming mountains. If it is a continental crust pushing against an oceanic crust, then the oceanic crust will go underneath, melt, and be recycled because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.
When does resperation takes place?
This takes place in the mitochondria.
Most of the geological activity at the surface of earth takes place at boundaries between?
Most of the geological activity at the Earth's surface takes place at boundaries between tectonic plates. These boundaries can be convergent (where plates collide), divergent (where plates move apart), or transform (where plates slide past each other).
What is simultaneous motion?
The motion in which translator motion and rotatory motion takes place simultaneously is called simultaneous motion
What are the 3 types of interaction that takes place at plate boundaries?
The three types of interactions that occur at plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
What type of motion takes place around a central point?
Circular motion.
Motion takes place over time and what?
Space.
Does motion always takes place in the direction of acceleration?
No.
How do continents grow?
Continents grow through a process called continental drift, where tectonic plates move and collide. As plates converge, they can create mountain ranges and add landmass to existing continents. This process takes millions of years to occur.
How earthquake take place?
An earthquake takes place, because there are tectonic plates which sometimes crash into each other, some places are more affected then others because some places are closer to the tectonic plates then others.
Where does the movement of plates take place?

Mid Oceanic ridges and rifts and mountains are also results of plate tectonics.
What is the difference between continentalcrust and the oceanic?
Continental crust is thicker and less dense while oceanic crust is thinner and more dense, so essentially continental crust takes a higher position than oceanic crust. When oceanic and continental plates collide, oceanic plates slide underneath continental plates(if this makes what I said any clearer).
How is space described?
Space is the entire volume in which all objects are located and in which all motion takes place.
Which conversion takes place in a motor?
Electrical to mechanical energy conversion takes place in a motor. The motor uses electricity to generate rotational motion, which can then be used to drive various mechanical systems.
