anything of the earth
what is conergent bandary explanation?
When two plates come together
what the definition of erosim?
the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
what is the process in deposition boundry?
sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.
what happens if 2 plates silde towards eavh other?
Convergent
How many layers does the earth have?
5 layers
what are 3 examples of convergent?
The collision between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate that is forming the Himalayas.
what are 3 things that are fored at a convergnt boundary?
mountains, volcanos, or subduction zones that form large trenches.
how does tectonic plates work?
what cause divergent boundaries?
a divergent boundary accars when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
where are the tectonic plates located at?
the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle.
what is the definition for convergent?
tending to move toward one point or to approach each other
what would happen if the tectonie plate continue to move?
the crustal rocks may grind violently against each other, causing earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
what causes plates tectonic?
The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior
types of plate boundaries?
divergent, convergent, and transform.
How are earthquakes made?
when underground rock suddenly breaks and there is rapid motion along a fault.
what are the diffrence between erosion and deposition?
Erosion is when materials, like soil or rocks, are moved by wind or water. All these materials are called sediments. Deposition is when those sediments are deposited, or dropped off, in a different location. These processes change the way the surface of the earth looks over time.
how do plates move where convention currents are rising?
n places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading
why are tectonic plates so important.
It is what made the Earth habitable.
what is subduction?
subdution is when one tectonic plate sinks below each other.
what is an earthqake?
what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.
what are ocean trenches and how are they formed?
a feature of convergent plate boundaries, where two or more tectonic plates meet.
what are tectonic plates and how do they work?
large slabs of rock that divide Earth's crust,
what the largest tectonic plate?
the Pacific Plate
what is transfrom boundary?
a broad zone forming as the Pacific Plate slides northwestward past the North American Plate.
why does the earth revole around the sun?
The earth evolves around the sun to make seasons.
