If two plates are moving towards each other at a very slow speed, which of the following may occur? A. Gentle earthquakes and slow mountain building B. No geological changes C. Sudden and large - scale volcanic eruptions 相关知识点: ...
This is because the mid-ocean ridge is a long underwater mountain range that forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. At these boundaries, magma rises to the surface and creates new oceanic crust, which spreads out in both directions, forming the ...
Example:the North American plate moving away from the Eurasian plate formed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and created Iceland through volcanic activity. Destructive Plate Boundaries(aka Convergent or Compressional) Oceanic plate colliding with a Continental plate Image When an oceanic plate and a continental pl...
Each of these boundaries can result in specific geological features and processes. 1. Divergent Boundaries Divergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This process allows magma from the mantle to rise to the surface, creating new crust. Spreading Center: Th...
It’s widely understood that Earth’s lithosphere (or outer crust) is made up of moving slabs of rock, better known as the tectonic plates. These plates only move a couple of inches each year. However, these tiny movements add up over time and cause some of Earth’s most well-known ...
Divergent plate boundaries are regions where lithospheric plates are moving away, or diverging from each other under the sea. In contrast to convergent boundaries that destroy old crust by subduction, divergent boundaries create new crust through a form of volcanism. ...
In simple terms the process involves plates being dragged into the mantle at certain points and moving away from each other at others, in what has been dubbed 'the conveyor belt'. Plate tectonics depends on the inverse relationship between density of rocks and temperature. ...
Plate Tectonics - theory stating that the Earth’s crust is made up of large, moving plates - the major force in geomorphology. Plate Tectonics. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. Sometimes the plates. ...
Filtration apparatus, comprising two endless filter belts (1, 5) parallel to each other over one strand from a point where they come together, then moving away from each other over the remaining strand, a pair of facing plates (P1 to P10) between which the parallel strand passes, a ...
It proposed that the continental landmasses used to be joined together before they drifted away from each other.Answer and Explanation: The moving plates of the earth's crust are called tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are moved by the convection currents which are generated in the......
