Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over earths surface became known as?
pangaea
If the lithosphere moved less how would the surface of the earths be affected?
the pushed and pull of tectonic forces would decrease.
Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
Which process are pieces of rock material being moved over earths surface by water and wind?
The process is called erosion.
How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
What is an example of earths moving crust?
There is evidence of the movement if the earths crust all over the world. The fact that if you look on a map you will see that South America and Africa look like they fit together like a puzzle. There have also been identical fossils found on different continents which enforces the fact that the land masses were once joined and have infact MOVED apart. If there is an earthquake fissures can form which are cracks in the ground where the ground has MOVED apart.
Wegners idea that the continents slowly moved over the earths surface become known as?
Continental drift. It was later refined and is known nowadays as "Plate tectonics."
Can plate movement alter earth systems and produce changes in earths surface?
Yes, if two plates moved in opposite directions to each other- moving away from each other-, it could create a hole in the ground which would go on, in to the center. Also, (mainly in the ocean) by the movement of two plates moving apart a volcano could be formed underwater.
