What else can I help you with?
What are the different pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
What does it mean when tectonic plates slip?
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
The mountain shown is composed of deformed sedimentary layers They are located near a tectonic plate boundary and are still increasing in elevation due to?
The mountain is likely growing in elevation due to the tectonic plate movement along the boundary, resulting in compression and uplift of the sedimentary layers. This compression causes the layers to fold and deform, creating the rugged mountain structure. Over time, continued tectonic activity will further elevate the mountain.
When tectonic plates collide folds and faults can become?
When tectonic plates collide, the extreme pressure and forces involved can cause the rocks to deform, leading to the creation of folds and faults. Folds are bends or curves in rock layers, while faults are fractures along which movement has occurred. These geological structures are a result of the tectonic forces exerted during plate collisions.
What Three types of evidence from the sea floor that prove earths tectonic plates move?
Earthquakes along the seafloor, tsunamis, and changed water movements.
Which tectonic plates are located along the Prime Meridian?
The tectonic plates located along the Prime Meridian are the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What are the different pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
What typically occurs along boundaries of tectonic plates?
earthquakes
Why do earthquakes happen near faults?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
What does it mean when tectonic plates slip?
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
How many tectonic plates are located in Bali?
Bali is located on two tectonic plates, the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. These plates interact along the Sunda Megathrust, which can result in seismic activity in the region.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
