What tectonic plates make up the Ring of Fire? What are some examples of plate tectonics? What tectonic plate is Los Angeles on? What are tectonic processes? What typically occurs along the boundaries of tectonic plates? Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain...
They will move towards the equator over time C. Their body size will become much smaller D. They will start to hibernate all year round 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:当板块运动使一些大陆向极点移动时,环境会变得寒冷。原本生活在这些大陆的温血动物为了寻找更适宜的温暖环境,会随着时间向...
At a convergent boundary two plates move towards each other. As the plates slowly collide, one or both of them buckle upwards to create ripples in the surface of the Earth’s crust. This is the process by which mountain ranges are formed. Occasionally one plate forces the other down to fo...
What causes earthquakes? A. Movement of tectonic plates. B. Changes in the weather. C. Volcanic eruptions. D. Human activities. 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 A。解析:地震是由地壳板块的运动引起的,A 选项正确。B 选项天气变化不会导致地震。C 选项火山喷发可能伴随地震,但不是地震的主要原因。D ...
A . The recent discovery of an unusual tectonic plate B . The effects of underwater riffs on plate boundaries located on land C . The development of a new technology for studying rifts located on land D . The process by which tecatonic plates are separated ...
Why Do Tectonic Plates Move Tectonic plates move because the Earth is constantly trying to dissipate itsinternal heat. The heat from the planet’s core drivesconvection currentsin the mantle, which creates a dynamic system where tectonic plates are carried along the surface. Additionally,gravityassist...
What tectonic plates make up the Ring of Fire? What are the four layers of the mantle? Where do the elements found on Earth originate? Which layer of Earth does not contain silicate minerals? What are the three main components that affect volcanic eruption?
The Earth consists of several layers that sit on top of one another. The outermost layer is the lithosphere, and this layer is made from tectonic plates. Answer and Explanation:1 The lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates that are composed of hard rocks. This layer floats on top...
