What is moving the tectonic plates

Geography
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]4 years ago
7 0
Answer: Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

What characteristic of a slab of oceanic lithosphere leads to the formation of deep-ocean trenches instead of shallow trenches
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Densidad.

Explanation:

The greater the density of an oceanic lithosphere plate, the greater the weight of that plate. This will affect the degree of subduction of that card. The higher the density, the greater the degree of subduction and the ability of the plate to descend, forcing the creation of prominent and well-defined trenches on the ocean floor.

The density of the plaque increases as the age of the plaque increases, so we can consider age, another factor in the formation of these trenches.
