Plate Tectonic question?

Question

What are the major geographical features that are noted around the world that are caused by the movement of the plates?

Answer 1

You tend to get big pushed up mountain chains where 2 continental plates are converging, subduction zone volcanism where you've got 1 plate being subducted beneath another (the subducting plate causes partial melting in the mantle and this magma pushes up through the plate above), mid-ocean ridge system where oceanic crust is being pulled apart (if you can find a map which shows sea topography as well as land topography you can have a look at the mid-ocean ridge system - it's pretty amazing, shows the outlines of the plates pretty well, too), and you also get continental rifting and volcanoes where continental crust is being pulled apart, like in Africa.

Answer 2

The movement of the techtonic plates cause a variety of different geographical features.
There are the constant formation of vocanoes at the divergent and convergent boundaries. The sliding of the plates past each other causes earthquakes. Additionally, at convergent boundries, such as the one near India, causes mountain ranges like the Himilayas. Of course, eventually the whole plant as we know it will change due to the constant motion of these plates.

Answer 3

if tectonics plate shifts using eruption of volcanos there's a drop in sea point as some plates are bumped off if u r status on 3 bricks and if v do away with a million brick then certainly therewill be drop on your point

Answer 4

1) Mid-oceanic ridges
2) Subduction zones
3) Continent-continent collisions
4) Oceanic fracture zones
5) Continental rifting

Answer 5

Globally: mountain chains, rift valleys, hotspots, volcanoes. Locally: faults, earthquakes, folds

Answer 6

mountains and volcanoes, islands if in the sea

Answer 7

Volcanoes!!!!!
