Plate in a sentence

One tectonic plate, called the Kula-Pacific Plate, slid beneath another, the Asian Continental Plate, unleashing 'colossal' volcanic eruptions that 'sculpted the region's peaks', it explains.

The researchers posit that the subducted plate is tearing along this zone of weakness as the southern section of the plate rotates in a clockwise direction, slowly splitting from the northern section of the plate.

The North American plate and Juan de Fuca plate, a small remnant of a much larger tectonic plate that used to subduct beneath North America, meet at the Cascadia subduction zone, which extends from the coast of northern California well into Canada.

Where the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate and the North American continental plate meet is called a subduction zone, because the denser Juan de Fuca Plate is being pulled under North America.

After the ground has hardened the artist "smokes" the plate, classically with 3 beeswax tapers, applying the flame to the plate to darken the ground and make it easier to see what parts of the plate are exposed.

Examples In the case of a moving plate in a liquid, it is found that there is a layer (lamina) that moves with the plate, and a layer next to any stationary plate that is stationary.

Geology The Pacific plate is subducted beneath the Mariana Plate, creating the Mariana trench, and (further on) the arc of the Mariana islands, as water trapped in the plate is released and explodes upward to form island volcanoes.

Krakatoa is directly above the subduction zone of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate where the plate boundaries make a sharp change of direction, possibly resulting in an unusually weak crust in the region.

Once the photo-etching process is complete, the plate can be worked further as a normal intaglio plate, using drypoint, further etching, engraving, etc. The final result is an intaglio plate which is printed like any other.

Plate types Half-wave plate A wave passing through a half-wave plate.

Since secondary electrons can outnumber the primary electrons, in the worst case, particularly as the plate voltage dips below the screen voltage, the plate current can decrease with increasing plate voltage.

The collisions of the African plate with the European plate and of the Indian subcontinent with the Asian plate, cut off the Tethys Seaway that had provided a low-latitude ocean circulation.

The following types are for vacuum tube transmitters (but similar options are available with transistors): citation * Plate modulation: In plate modulation, the plate voltage of the RF amplifier is modulated with the audio signal.

This process is still at work today as the African Plate converges with the Eurasian Plate and the Anatolian Plate escapes towards the west and southwest along strike-slip faults.

Abdullahi said the two vehicles involved in the crash were a white private Toyota pickup van with number plate BPP 041 while the second one was a Volkswagen Golf car, also white in colour with number plate DX 65 EKY.

Here was a dead leaf taped over the plate letters, there was a corner of the plate folded, now we have some paint over a scratched-out number.

Previously, members of a military reserve unit could request a special license plate that identified their military service but were required to surrender their license plate once they completed their military service.

The entirety of Australia sits on the Australian tectonic plate, which is classified as a stable continental plate.

The last new pieces, a bread and butter plate, cup and saucer, and pie plate, were made in 1993.

The stable continental interior of North America is located far from plate boundaries and has less tectonic activity than regions close to plate boundaries, such as North America's west coast.
