Is the west coast of Africa a passive or active continental margin?
Passive continental margin.
The east coast of North America is an example of what kind of margin?
Passive
A good example of a present-day passive continental margin is the?
The east coast of North America, west coast of africa
Is the east coast of North America an active plate boundary?
No, the east coast of the United States is in the middle of the of the North American plate. The eastern most part of the North American plate boundary is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in an area known as the Mid-Atlantic Rift. The north western coast of North America (Oregon, Washington, Canada and Southern Alaska) are subduction zones.
Which South American continental margin is passive and not a plate boundary?
The east coast of South America along the Atlantic Ocean is a passive continental margin. This means that it is not located along a tectonic plate boundary where significant tectonic activity such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions occur. The passive margin formed when South America separated from Africa during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Where is an earthquake more likely to occur - along North America's pacific coast or along one of North America's other coasts?
the west coast is surrounded by the Pacific ocean which has an active margin tectonically. There is more volcanic activity due to the Pacific rim of fire. The East coast has the Atlantic ocean which has a passive margin thus not much tectonic activity. In the west coast, the Pacific plate subducts beneath the North American plate which causes faulting, folding, and wrinkling of the north american continental crust hence the earthquakes.
What is the passive voice of The cyclone is battering the coast?
"The coast was battered by the cyclone." or "The coast is being battered by the cyclone."
Which coast represents an active continental margin?
The West Coast of the United States represents an active continental margin where tectonic plates are colliding. This region is characterized by land formations such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What is the passive voice for a cyclone is battering the coast?
The coast is being battered.If you want to add the agent you say by a cyclone.The coast is being battered by a cyclone.
how long is America America?
America is over 3,000 miles long coast to coast.
Is the east coast of North America father east than the east coast of South America?
the east coast of South America
Are the edge of continents the same as the boundaries of plates?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
