What is th difference between divergnt and convergent plate boundaries?
convergent collides together, divergent pulls apart.
What do convergent boundaries create?
Convergent boundaries create mountains as they push together.
When do slip faults usually happen?
Slip faults usually happen when two plates are sliding past eachother /transform boundary.
What is a slip fault?
So a slip fault is when two plates, slide past eachother, but one goes under the other.
Which plate boundary causes tsunamis?
The transform boundary can cause tsunamis, but only if they are happening in the ocean.
What is a converegnt boundary?
A convergent boundary is were two plate tectonics push together.
When earthquakes are happening alot, what does that mean?
When earthquakes happen quite often it means to plates are sliding under eachother , to be very specific it means that the transform boundary is happening on land.
What does magam do to the plates?
Magma causes the plate movement.
What happens if the tectonic plates do not have the same density?
If the tectonic plates do not have the same density, subdiction will happen, one with go uner the other.
What is a transform plate boundary?
A transform boundary is when two plates slide past eachother, causing tsunamis, and earthquakes.
What is a rift valley?
A rift valley is a lowland region causes by plate boundaries, and to be specific divergent boundaries.
Does the asthenosphere make the plates moe or does the lithosphere make the plates move?
The asthenosphere causes the plates movement.
What is a divergent boundary?
A divergent boundary is when two plates pull apart from eachother.
What do divergent boundaries cause?
Divergent boundaries cause rift valleys and ridges as they pull apart.
What are convection Currents?
Convection Currents is the plates movement.
Who created the continental drift theory?
Alfred Wegener created the continetal drift theory.
If the plates have the same density, what happens?
If the plates have the same density, the may fold up and create mountains.
What was harry hess' theory?
Harry's theory is the seafloor spreading.
Why does subduction happen?
Subduction happens because one plate will be faster than the other, because gravity is pullig on it.
