What else can I help you with?
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
Which way is the Arabian plate moving?
Lithospheric plates move at very slow rates, only a few centimeters a year. The movement causes earthquakes, create volcanoes, and deform large masses of rock into mountains. The movement of the Arabian plate is pushing it to the northeast.
Mountains can be formed by erosion volcanos or a process called what?
Horse isle 2 answer: Plate TectonicsMoonWishes or MoonWind
What causes the boundery movement?
Boundary movement can be caused by tectonic plate motion, where plates collide, move apart, or slide past each other. This movement can create features like mountains, rift valleys, and earthquakes. It can also be influenced by factors like mantle convection and gravitational forces.
Are the Cascade Mountains still growing today?
Yes, the Cascade Mountains are still growing today. The movement of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate under the North American plate continues to push up the mountains, leading to ongoing uplift and volcanic activity in the region.
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
What kind of plate boundary causes mountains to form?
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
What type of plate of plate boundary causes mountains?
Convergent Boundaries.
What causes mountains to change?
Mountains change due to forces such as erosion, tectonic plate movement, and volcanic activity. Weathering and erosion wear down mountain peaks, while tectonic plate movement can push mountains upwards or cause them to fold and fault. Volcanic activity can also build new mountains or alter existing ones.
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What is responsible for the plate movement?
Mountains, lakes, earthquakes.
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
Which way is the Arabian plate moving?
Lithospheric plates move at very slow rates, only a few centimeters a year. The movement causes earthquakes, create volcanoes, and deform large masses of rock into mountains. The movement of the Arabian plate is pushing it to the northeast.
What is the earth's plate movement responsible for?
Mountains, lakes, earthquakes.
What are the natural causes of an earthquake?
plate movement
What land features result from the force of plate movement?
Mountains and deep cracks in the surface of Earth are features that result from the forces of the plate movement.
What are some of the features of earth that are caused by plate movement?
mountains and earthquakes
