What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere
What do scientists now know about earth that would have answered the scientists who rejected wegeners theory?
the sea-floor spreading, and the movement of tectonic plates
What evidence do scientists have to support the relationships of the earths parts?
a. seismic waves b. volcanoes c. earthquakes d. rocks
What do scientist use to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?
Scientists use a network of satellites called the global positioning system to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement
What evidence of earths climate in the past supports the theory of contnental drift?
It is not so much the climate, but it is the tectonic plates movement, and fossils of extincted animals on different continents that support this theory. Also, fossils support the theory of evolution that was proven by Charles Darwin.
What evidence was discovered in the 1960's that supports plate tectonic theory?
Alternating bands of magnetic polarity as you move away from the mid-Atlantic ridge.
How does the earthquake in japan have to do with science?
Science tries to explain the world. Many scientists study the movement of tectonic plates that cause earthquakes.
What evidence from the sea floor proves that tectonic plates move?
Underwater volcanoes are one example of tectonic plate movement. Because when the plates move pools of lava are exposed and released. Hope this helped!
What is tectonic plateau?
Tectonic plateau is a plateau formed by the movement of tectonic plateaus
What type of a scientist was Roger Revelle?
Roger Revelle was a geologist. He was one of the first scientists to study global warming and the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is tectonic earthquake means?
It is the unsual movement of tectonic plates which causes tectonic earthquakes.
