Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
Where two of the earth plates split apart?
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
How many tectonic plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
What types of mountains form when oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates?
A Ocean-To-Continent Collision. A Volcanic Mountain Will Form.
Which feature is formed on the ocean floor when tectonic plates are pushed together so that one plate moves under the other?
ocean trench
What does oceanic plates mean?
oceanic plates are plates that lies under the ocean. oceanic plates are plates that lies under the ocean.
Do oceanic plates lie under the ocean?
yes
Are tectonic plates thicker under the ocean?
Yes
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
Do the Plates include the lithosphere under the ocean?
Yes, several of the plates have their margins under the oceans. The Pacific Plate would be the plate with the largest area under the seas.
What is the Plate under the ocean?
Techtonic plates move under the earth moving land and water.
How many plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
What are the characteristics of ocean trench?
An ocean trench is a long, deep depression in the ocean. They are the result of oceanic plates sliding under one another.
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
When plates collide with continental plates does the denser ocean plate sink?
Yes, it "dives" under the continental crust and back into the mantle.
Where two of the earth plates split apart?
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
