2. Describe plate tectonic theory base on the given characteristics.
A. The Earth consist of different part
B. Earth Plates interact in varied ways
C. The movement of plate result in the formation of Volcanoes, Earthquake and mountain belts and other geological features.
3. How will you compare the location of active Volcanos, Earthquake epicenter and Mountain Belts?
Answers & Comments
1.Earthquakes occur along fault lines, cracks in Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet. They occur where plates are subducting, spreading, slipping, or colliding. As the plates grind together, they get stuck and pressure builds up. Finally, the pressure between the plates is so great that they break loose.
2. C. The movement of plate result in the formation of Volcanoes, Earthquake and mountain belts and other geological features.
3. Majority of the eathquake's epicenter lies mostly on the tectonic plate boundaries. Volcanoes and earthquakes are both produced from the divergent and convergent movement of the tectonic plate boundaries. ... Mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and epicenters are located.
1. Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates moving, this is also the reason why the huge continent (Pangea) was separated into the now 7 continents.
2. C.
3. Earthquake epicenters are found in the middle of a moving tectonic plates, volcanoes are found in huge tectonic plates stacking(?), Montain belts reflects both a more diverse and a more complicated history of convergence between lithospheric plates. (not sure with this one.)
