Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
Does plate movements help to drive the rock cycle?
Yes, because this can cause a volcano to erupt which will form igneous rock. This will then later lead to the rest of the cycle.
What is the rock cycle and what is the role of plate tectonics in the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.Plate movements start the rock cycle by helping to form magma, the source of igneous rocks. Plate movements also cause faulting, folding, and other motions of the crust that help to form sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
How many years does it take to form a landslide?
Landslides are dependant upon plate movements of the earth.They don't have fixed intervals in which they can occur,that is seismologists are always monitoring plate movements in order to help them predict earthquarke activities
Do the forces inside the earth help drive the rock cycle?
Yes
What is importance of the mantle?
The mantle is where convection cells are formed. Convection currents help stimulate the tectonic plate movements thus recycling sediments and soil.

How can animals change rocks like by living in cracks?
Their movements, motions, or behaviors help weather and erode the rock that they have made their home, one cog of the rock cycle.
How does the GPS system help geologist study the Earth?
"GPS allows scientists to monitor the change in position of points on the earth surface with time and so can measure the velocity of plate movements."
How does making a map of butterfly movements help you unerstand where they travel?
how does making a map of butterfly movements help you understand where they travel
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
How do plate tectonics help?
Question is too broad. How do they help what? Are you asking how plate tectonics WORK?
