What is the name of plates that wont sink?
Buoyant plates, such as those made of foam or other lightweight materials, are designed not to sink in water. These plates can float on the surface of the water due to their low density and ability to displace enough water to offset their weight.
Is tsunami wave?
A tsunami occurs when there is an under-water earthquake. The two oceanic plates crash into each other and since both of the plates have jagged edges, the edges fit into the other oceanic plate like jigsaw pieces. This will increase the pressure between both plates and predominantly one of the plates will dominate the other causing massive waves. In the water, massive waves are considered as ''Tsunamis'' since it is an underwater earthquake.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other?
When two plates pull away from each other, it creates a divergent boundary. As the plates move apart, magma rises to the surface from below the Earth's crust. This can form new crust as the magma solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
What is the plates under the ocean?
The plates under the ocean are part of Earth's lithosphere, known as oceanic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, influencing geological processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and volcanic activity.
Why do scientists call the Ocean water on Earth the global Ocean?
Scientists refer to the ocean water on Earth as the global ocean because it is one interconnected body of water that covers over 70% of the planet's surface. Despite being divided into different seas and oceans, they are all part of the same continuous body of water. Viewing it as one global entity helps scientists study its interconnected systems and processes.
Scientists look for what molecule when they are investigating the possibility of life on other planets?
Scientists look for molecules such as water, methane, and organic compounds like amino acids or nucleotides when investigating the possibility of life on other planets. These molecules are considered essential for life as we know it.

What molecule do scientists look for when they are investigating the possibility of life on other planets?
Scientists often look for the molecule water when investigating the possibility of life on other planets. Water is essential for all known forms of life and its presence can indicate the potential for habitability on other planets.
The only other planet that scientists have evidence of water being present is?
Mars

Why mars europa and titan are of interest to scientists searching for extraterrestrial life?
Because these moons and planet display signs of once, or still, having water on or in them. If liquid water is present, the temperatures in the area tend to be favorable to life.
Does mercury have any bodies of water or any other liquid?
scientists say there is but they are not sure.
Do we have the technology to terra form Mars?
Currently, no. Scientists are searching for water. If water is located, then possibly a plant found on Earth can be transported to Mars, where it can begin to produce oxygen. Whether there is a plant that can survive the cold winters of Mars is the question.
What is the main reason scientists monitor the water quality of streams lakes and other water sources?
to maintain a clean environment .
Why do scientists call the ocean water on earth global ocean?
The Oceans are all connected to each other therefore scientists call them the global Ocean.
What do tectonics plates create when they vslide past each other?
If on land, they create earthquakes, if in water, tsunamis.
Why do scientists believe that earth is the only planet that can sustain life as you know it?
You need water to live and other planets don't have water
