Does planet Neptune consists of tectonic plates, Explain?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:there is no evidence of tectonic plates present on Uranus and Neptune
Answer:
NO
Explanation:
The scientists have discovered that only earth has tectonic plates
Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are gas planets and have no solid surface. Therefore, they do not have volcanoes.
On the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, there is no evidence of plate tectonics .
plate tectonics on the Earth did not initiate until the end of the Archaean ~2500 Million year ago.
The Earth likely was a uniplate planet up to that time, with a sialic (continental) crust and only shallow oceans, the site of greenstone belt eruptivity, dating back possibly to beyond 4000 million year ago.
The delay in the appearance of plate tectonics was I believe because the crust had not cooled enough for the separation to occur on very deep fractures, ridges to form and the pieces of the continental crust to tear apart and move horizontally coupled with the mantle convection.
