How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
What is the Great Rift Valley of East Africa an excellent example of?
The spreading of plates from a divergent boundary that divides an existing landmass into two separate plates.
What does family of mother's side is called?
Your mother's family is your maternal family.Family history traced through the mother is called the matrilineal history.
How are the rivets being used to hold two metal plates tightly?
Rivets are used to join metal plates by passing them through holes in both overlapped plates. The ends of the rivets are then hammered over, flattening the heads, which prevents them from pulling back through the hole.
What is a two on two battle called?
It is called 'Doubles'.
What is it called when two plate tectonics move side by side?
When two tectonic plates move side by side, it is called a transform boundary. This movement can result in earthquakes due to the plates grinding against each other. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform boundary.
How much plates does a stegosaurus have on its back?
Stegosaurus had 17 bony plates on its back. The plates were arranged in two rows, one one each side of the spine, and rather than the plates being directly across from each other, they alternated, with a plate on one side, then a plate on the other side, and then a plate on the first side again. In addition to plates, they had four bony spikes called thagomizers at the end of the tail.
What type of boundary is called when two tectonic plates move side by side?
A transform boundary is formed when two tectonic plates move past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes along strike-slip faults.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
What is called when two plates collide and one pushes upwards?
Two plates colliding and one being pushed upwards is called subduction.
What is the border between the plates?
The boarder between two plates is called a boundary.
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
When two plates slide one under the other is called?
It's called the Transform, that's the second stage of the plates.
When two plates slide one under the other it is called?
It's called the Transform, that's the second stage of the plates.
What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
When two plates move towards each other, it is called convergence. The motion during convergence is usually called subduction if one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision if the two plates collide and form mountain ranges.
When two plates are touching what is it called?
Convergent boundary.
What are the two lithosphere plates called?
Continental and oceanic
