What else can I help you with?
What do plate tectonics have to do with earthquakes?
When tectonic plates come together or go under or over each other, forms a volcano. that what tectonic plates do form volcanoes!!! Thank you
How can a folded mountain happen in the middle of a tectonic plate?
The tectonic plate boundaries come together and push up on each other to form mountains.
What are the differences between plate tectonic and tectonic plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
Is subduction characteristic of diverging plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not characteristic of diverging plate boundaries. Subduction occurs at converging plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. Diverging plate boundaries are where tectonic plates move away from each other, such as at mid-ocean ridges.
How do volcanos form at a plate boundary?
When tectonic plates converge together at the bottom of the ocean the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate because the oceanic plate weighs more and then the oceanic plate pushes up the continental plate which forms mountains and sometimes the tectonic plates let magma through which goes up through the continental plate and then opens a hole at the top of the mountains called a vent which is where the steam, volcanic ash, debris and lava come out of.
What two natural disasters come from plate tectonic movements?
Earth quakes and tsunami (also volcanoes)
How did the 1923 Tokyo earthquake occur?
The earthquake in Tokyo occured because, Tokyo lies on three tectonic plates. When those plates come together, seperate, or slide past each other an earthquake happens. However, Tokyo is also a city in a major fault zone!
Where does the Caucasian come from?
Caucasian means 'resident of the Caucasus', a mountainous area formed where the European tectonic plate is making contact with the Arabian tectonic plate. This place is believed to be the ancestral origin of White man, which is why whites are called caucasians.
What are the types of movement of the plate?
1. Spreading,or moving apart 2. Subduction,or diving under another plate 3. Collision,or Crashing into one another 4. Sliding past each other in a Shearing Motion -Hope this helps you guys...(=
Where does the energy come from to drive tectonic plate motion?
The energy driving tectonic plate motion primarily comes from the Earth's internal heat, which generates convection currents in the mantle. These currents transfer heat to the crust, causing the plates to move. Additionally, gravitational forces and the Earth's rotation play a role in the movement of tectonic plates.
What are the three movement of a tectonic plate?
Convergent when they come together. Divergent when they go apart. Transform when they slide against each other.
How does tectonic plate motion relate to volcanoes?
A volcano is magma that has come through the earth's crust through cracks created by movement of the plates.
