crust is made up of seven major plates and a number of minor plates. The plates move because of the convection currents in the mantle caused by temperature differences within the mantle‚ leading to volcanoes and earthquakes‚ the world’s major geophysical hazards. The movement of plates due to convection currents results in a variety of types of plate boundary‚ each of which gives rise to particular types of hazards. Constructive boundaries occur where two plates are moving apart. Basalt rises

the boundary between the North American and Pacific lithospheric plates. Geologists have learned that the Earth’s crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth’s surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western California; the boundary between them is the San Andreas Fault. The Pacific Plate (on the west) moves northwestward relative to the North American Plate (on the east)‚ causing earthquakes along the fault. The San Andreas

Summary Australian Biota Matt Elrick 1. Evidence for the rearrangement of crustal plates and continental drift indicates that Australia was once part of an ancient super continent 1.1 Identify and describe evidence that supports the assertion that Australia was once part of a landmass called Gondwana‚ including: - matching continental margins - position of mid-ocean ridges - spreading zones between continental plates - fossils in common on Gondwanan continents including Glossopteris and Gangamopteris

The volcano was formed when the Cocos plate converged with the Caribbean plate. The Cocos plate moves under the Caribbean plate this process is called subduction. When Cocos melts‚ hot magma rises

Describe and explain how rock cycle operates. How do rocks metamorphose at destructive plate boundary? Rock cycle is a cycle that describes how rocks are transformed. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Besides‚ metamorphism at the destructive plate boundaries creates different characteristics of rocks. Operation of the rock cycle
