depends on the relative movement of the plates as well as the type of plate‚ continental or oceanic. Due to the relatively low density of continental crust it does not sink‚ however oceanic crust is denser and so does sink into the mantle when the two different types of plate converge at a destructive plate boundary. As shown in the diagram above‚ the denser oceanic crust of the Pacific Plate is forced underneath the continental Eurasian Plate at an angle to form a subduction zone with an associated

Plate tectonic theory is a widely excepted theory that the Earth’s lithosphere is made up of plates‚ both oceanic and continental‚ which slowly move due to convection currents in the mantle and the asthenosphere. However‚ it is very hard to be certain as we can’t see the structure of the Earth‚ so some people do not agree with it. This theory saw the introduction of what we know today to be tectonic plates. Tectonic plates occur where there is radioactive decay in the core and temperatures are extremely

Goodyear’s Aquatred Case Goodyear‚ around the late 1980s was developing a tire that would set them apart from the competition. Unfortunately they were stuck in a time when replacing tires was not high on peoples list of pleasantries‚ which will be explained in greater detail. Goodyear developed what they called the Aquatred tire which was supposed to give greater traction during wet weather and a superior quality that would have the same traction after much use as some tires did when they were

Pressure that is released from these two plates cause the earth’s surface is shake violently. This will be a hazard for people living along coastlines‚ and has proved to be a major hazard for countries like the Philippines. Collision of two continental plates can cause highly damaging earthquakes and affect a wider area‚ not just coastlines
