Convergent boundary where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate C. Transform boundary D. Convergent boundary where two continental plates meet 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:当大洋板块与大陆板块在聚合边界相遇时,大洋板块会俯冲到大陆板块之下。这种俯冲过程会产生巨大的压力、摩擦和物质的融化,...
Plate movement can cause earthquakes. Which type of plate boundary is most likely to produce strong earthquakes? A. Divergent boundaries B. Convergent boundaries C. Transform boundaries D. All of the above 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 D。解析:板块的背离(divergent)、汇聚(convergent)和转换(...
Earthquakes are most likely to occur along which of these plate boundaries? A. Divergent and convergent B. Convergent and transform C. Divergent and transform D. Only at convergent boundaries 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:地震最有可能发生在板块汇聚和转换边界。在汇聚边界,板块的强烈碰撞挤压...
Which of the following regions is most likely to experience earthquakes due to plate movement? A. The interior of a large continent B. The middle of an ocean C. Along plate boundaries D. Near the poles 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:沿着板块边界最有可能因为板块运动而经历地震。板块...
Which plate boundary along the Circum-Pacific Belt is responsible for the majority of that belt's earthquakes? True or false? Continental crust subducts under less dense oceanic crust. You are taking samples of water depth as you cross the ocean from North America to Afri...
Which oceanic plate will be subducted? When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust willalways subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Convergent boundaries are commonly associated with larger earthquakes and higher volcanic...
If two tectonic plates collide, they form aconvergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. ...
Taking the focal mechanisms into consideration, strain perturbations caused by preceding earthquakes are computed at the foci of 24 shallow intra-plate earthquakes ( M 6) which occurred in the Japan area in the last 30 years. Significant accumulation of differential strain (namely, shear strain on...
When two plates push against each other,or when two plates rub against each other,an earthquake happens. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the movement of the plates. Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries(边界...
The Pacific plate is also pushing on China from the east as the plate moves west. Likewise, the Indian plate is pushing on China from the southwest as that plate moves northeast. The same power that produced the great Himalayan Mountains now causes earthquakes in China. We cannot stop ...
