Question

how are contenental plates formed and how are they eventually destroyed

Answer 1

continental plates r nothing but hard metal plates present in earths mantle which move slowly when one plate collide with other one one will go down nd another go up which will b in d form of mountains.they r formed due 2 hard rock,metals etc., at d time of collision some plates go down some will b destroyed.

$\huge{\bold{\underline{Answer:}}}$

• According to geologists continents and oceans are actually situated on massive base of rocks called plates, that are floating on the mantle.

• Continental plates are formed due to the activities like sea floor spreading in which the lava raising up from the mantle are hardened into rock creating new rocks.

• These plates are constantly pushed and therefore keep moving slowly.

• This movement of plates is called plate tectonics.

• While this movement continues, they pushes/collide each other, a lot of pressure is excreted by each of them on the other.

• The plate thus going under into the mantle becomes molten.

• It actually pulls the rest of the plate in to the mantle. Thus the plate is destroyed.
