sergey [27]

Answer:

Upon contact with the continental plate, the oceanic plate, being denser, begins to sink into the asthenosphere. This sinking of the plate is called subduction. Once in the asthenosphere, the oceanic plate melts due to high temperatures. The melts thus formed come to the surface in the form of volcanic eruptions, forming a volcanic chain of subduction.

When two plates come in contact, a collision is created, which leads to earthquakes or sediment wrinkles, followed by their elevation and mountain formation.

<em>Thus, the mountain ranges were formed: the American Cordillera and the Himalayan mountains.</em>

How is the movement in the asthenosphere responsible for volcanoes and earthquakes?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

When plates move away from each other, the space between them gets filled with material, which rises to the surface, cools and forms mid-oceanic ridges. The Pacific Ocean is growing wider by about 18 cm per year as the plates diverge and the mid-oceanic ridge is built up. Where plates come into contact, energy is released. Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.  

When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’s crust. It wasn’t until the 1960s that a full explanation began to develop – the theory of plate tectonics.
