1. What geologic processes/events that may occur because of this plate movement?
2. What geologic feature/s might form at the surface of the oceanic plate?
3. If the edge of the oceanic plate on top, suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced. What could be formed at the surface of the ocean?
Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.The geologic processes/events that will occur because of this plate movement are: Major geological events (this is the new formation of rocks or island) Plate tectonic boundaries, divergent, Plate tectonics.2
2.At a convergent boundary with at least one oceanic plate, an ocean trench, a chain of volcanoes develops and many earthquakes occur. At a convergent boundary where both plates are continental, mountain ranges grow and earthquakes are common.
3.When the leading edge of the plates melts, it turns into a magma which rise up on the surface creating volcanoes. If the edge of Plate A suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced on the surface of the ocean known as tsunami.
Answer:
1.) Such type of movement of plate leads to geological process such as underground volcanic eruptions, the formation of basins and valleys, etc. Thirdly, it is a transformation in which plates “move away from each other” in sideways. Such type of movement leads to the “occurrence” of natural disasters such as “Earthquake.”
2.) Deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, island arcs, submarine mountain ranges, and fault lines are examples of features that can form along plate tectonic boundaries. Volcanoes are one kind of feature that forms along convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one moves beneath the other.
3.) When the leading edge of the plates melts, it turns into a magma which rise up on the surface creating volcanoes. If the edge of Plate A suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced on the surface of the ocean known as tsunami. Convergent boundary is also known as destructive boundary.
