1) Explain the following terms.
a) Folding, Faulting and Valconic activity.
b) Convergent, Divergent and transform boundary.
2) What are the seven major tactonic plates?
No spam plz dear plzzzz give full answer. If u don't know then no problem but don't give half answer. thank you
Answers
1.a)
•FOLDING- It is the process when earth's two tectonic plates converge. The collision causes a part of the Earth's surface to rise up, creating a mountain by compression .
•FAULTING- The tension and compression associated with the plate tectonics that causes rocks to break apart is called faulting.
•VOLCANIC ACTIVITY- The opening in the earth's crust through which molten magma, gases, dust particles and other harmful materials arise is called a volcano.
b)
Divergent boundaries - Where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries - Where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries - Where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
2. The seven major plates are the African plate, Antarctic plate, Eurasian plate, Indo-Australian plate, North American plate, Pacific plate and South American plate.
