Why do scientists think continents can move? A. The heat of the tectonic plates causes continents to move. B. The movement of ocean water causes the continents to move. C. Continents are huge pieces of land that can be pushed together. D. Continents lie on top of tectonic plates that ...
Learn about tectonic plates, and discover what causes the earth's plates to move. Understand tectonic boundary types and the effects of tectonic...
Why do tectonic plates move so slow? How did feudalism come about? Why was Brunelleschi's dome so significant? Why is Karl Marx considered a historical materialist? Explain Dilthey's conception of understanding. Explain the derivation of work function. ...
Why do hydrogen ions have to bond with hydroxide ions? Can't they bond with something else with the same valence electron need? Why do tectonic plates move so slow? In chemistry, how can one tell if an element is able to be paired with another element?
The 21st century has been no more kind.The Earth's outer shell is made up of tectonic plates(构造板块) that move. Haiti sits near the crossing of two tectonic plates that make up the Earth's outer shell.Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction(...
The Earth’s crust is made up of tectonic plates that move. And Haiti sits near the intersection of two of them — the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. Multiple fault lines between those plates cut through or near the island of Hispaniola, which Haiti shares with the Dominican...
Earthquakes occur when the plates that make up the Earth's crust move around. These plates, called tectonic plates, can push against each other. Earthquakes are most common along fault lines, which are fractures that allow the plates to move. ...
Haiti sits near the intersection of two tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction. Haiti is also densely populated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to withstand hurricanes – not eart...
The plates move slowly and continuously. They collide, move apart or slide past one another. These movements cause enormous tensions and subsequently earthquakes which relieve the stress. Peru is situated along the boundary of two of these tectonic plates: the Nazca Plate and the South American ...
The East Anatolian Fault zone that hosted these earthquakes is at the boundary between the Arabian and Anatolian tectonic plates, which move past each other at approximately 6 to 10 mm per year. The elastic strain that accumulates in this plate boundary zone is released by intermittent earthquakes...
