What is the Term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary?
term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
are mid oceanic ridge collisional?
No, mid-oceanic ridges are not collisional; they are divergent boundaries where tectonic plates are moving apart. At these ridges, magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust as the plates separate. This process is responsible for the formation of new ocean floor and is characterized by volcanic activity and seismic events. In contrast, collisional boundaries occur where plates converge, leading to features like mountain ranges and subduction zones.
Where can you find a transform boundary in Earth?
Transform boundaries can be found along tectonic plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. An example of a well-known transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, USA.
What is the fastest spreading divergent plate boundary?
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
What is the plate boundary thay caused soufriere hills volcano?
Destructive(collisional) plate margin/boundary
The location where the sinking of one plate beneath the other in a collisional boundary occurs is called a?
It is called a subduction zone.
What is is the subduction zone?
A collisional plate boundary along which one lithospheric plate overrides another and produces a deep-sea trench, a volcanic arc, and seismicity.
Are geological hot spots collisional?
Geological hot spots are not typically collisional. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle to the surface, creating volcanic activity. Collisional plate boundaries, on the other hand, occur when tectonic plates converge and collide, leading to mountain formation and earthquakes.
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
Which two Earth layers are separated by the Moho boundary?
The Moho boundary separates the Earth's crust from the mantle. It marks the boundary between the Earth's rigid outer layer (crust) and the underlying, more ductile layer (mantle).
What type of boundary is a reverse fault on?
You can find it on a convergent boundary
What does moho stand for?
"moho" is the plate boundary between earth's crust and the mantle.
What is the Term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary?
term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary
What is the boundary of the moho layer and the mantle?
ummm hello! its just the moho layer! the moho layer is the boundary between the mantle and the crust!there is absolutely no boundary between the moho layer and the mantle! you think i am wrong? then drill to the moho layer and find out!
The lower boundary of Earth's crust is called?
Moho
What is the boundary between earth and the outer space?
exosphere
