How were tectonic plates moving in the Triassic Period? Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics. Is weathering related to plate tectonics? How did the Chicxulub impact affect the lithosphere?Explore...
To answer this question, let's look at the region's tectonic plates, the outer parts of the planet's surface that can collide with each other, making mountains, or pull apart, creating vast basins. Along this colossal tear in eastern Africa, the Somalian tectonic plate is pulling eastward ...
Rotation also does not involve internal accumulation of strain, so it is more relevant to understanding overall tectonic movements than earthquake hazard. Question 8 Axis 1 = negative (contraction)—this is the axis in the NW-SE orientation; the contraction is actually very minor in this ...
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MOVEMENTS OF TECTONIC PLATES. WHAT IF IS THERE ANY PLATES MOVEMENT AS OCEAN-CONTINENT CONVERGENCE,IS IT POSSIBLE? 40 Bilaal ⚠ Hi this website is really good it help's me with the work 41 soraya ⚠ Thank you so very much i was struggling with the concept and...
These days,tectonic plates—15-20 huge, interlocking pieces that make up the earth's crust—are even slower. Nevertheless, their movements are partially responsible for geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building. North American Plate ...
