Question

plates float on the surface of the mantle. Which plate pushes the Philippine plate toward the eurasian plate?a. cocos plate b. nazca plate c.indo-australian plate d.pacific plate​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pacific plate floats on the surface of the mantle that pushes the Philippines plate toward the Eurasian plate. Beneath the Philippine Sea plate, the Pacific plate subducts to the east.

Answer 2

Here the Plates means the Tectonic plates. Tectonic plates float on the surface of the mantle. Tectonic plates are composed of solid rocks. They are composed of continental and oceanic lithosphere.

(Option c.) Indo- Australian plate pushes the Philippine plate towards the Eurasian plate.

• Plate Tectonic is a theory which explains how major landforms were created in the course of time and the earth's subterranean movements.
• As the time passed the continents moved further away from each other, and some came close that resulted in the formation of mountains.

• According to the theory the landforms now we see were initially a common landform attached to one another.
• To prove the theory, an argument was given that all the landforms could be seen as a puzzle. For example- Northern Australia could easily fit the part of Southern India.
• There are 7 major tectonic plates. These include: Africa, Antarctica, Indo-Australian, North American, South American, Pacific and Eurasian. And also many small tectonic plates.
• The Largest of them is the Antarctic plate followed by Eurasian Plate.

It is proved by the scientists that some tectonics are moving away and some are moving close. The Indo-Australian plate is moving upward pushing the Philippine plate towards Eurasia.
