A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as
A. One plate slides beneath another B. Plates move away from each other C. Plates move parallel to each other D. New crust is formed 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 A。解析:俯冲带是一个板块俯冲到另一个板块之下的区域。选项B是板块离散的情况。选项C是板块走滑的情况。选项D新地壳形成于板块离散...
aEarthquakes occur when one plate strikes another or slides beneath another. Either action produces a huge amount of energy that travels upwards to the surface of the land or upwards to the surface of the ocean floor. A powerful earthquake on the ocean floor produces a tsunami.[translate]...
The invention relates to a straight guide between two essentially plate-shaped slides sliding on one another. To provide a straight guide which is as simple as possible in terms of construction and is cost-effective to produce and which allows absolutely play-free operation, the invention provides...
PLATE BOUNDARIES. Instructional Goals Explain how each of the three plate boundaries are formed Predict the resulting landforms from each boundary. Plate Tectonics Notes Notes Three Types of Plate Boundaries Plate Tectonics Chapter 17. Continental Drift ___ proposed the theory that the crust...
Convergent plate boundaries are where two plates move towards each other. This type of boundary can be found at subduction zones, where one plate slides beneath another, and at collision zones, where two plates collide head-on. When continents collide... mountains belts form -examples include th...

A type of convergent boundary where a plate slides underneath another plate. Transform boundary boundary where the plates move past each other in opposite directions. Earthquake a sudden trembling of the Earth caused by the abrupt release of energy caused by plate movement. Common around plate boun...
Earthquakes occur when one plate strikes another or slides beneath another. Either action produces a huge amount of energy that travels upwards to the surface of the land or upwards to the surface of the ocean floor. A powerful earthquake on the ocean floor produces a tsunami....
aJapan sees a lot of seismic activity because it sits in an area where one tectonic plate—a shard of the earth’s crust—slides under another. At certain points, the two plates get stuck and strain builds up. When the strain overcomes the strength of the rocks, the plates jerk forward...
