Is the great rift valley made up of a series of geological folds?
No, the Great Rift Valley is not made up of a series of geological folds. It is a geographical trench system caused by the separation of tectonic plates in East Africa, forming a distinct depression in the Earth's surface. The rift valley is characterized by steep cliffs and escarpments rather than folds.
True or false Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes.?
True
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
Is the following sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called a convergent boundary?
False. A strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is formed when two plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other in a subduction zone.
Does Terrane accretion generally occurs along a divergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
Terrane accretion typically occurs along a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide, rather than along a divergent boundary where they move apart. This process involves the collision and subsequent attachment of different crustal blocks or terranes to a continental margin or another terrane.
