What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earthquaks are caused by the earths tectonic plates moving over each other.Nothing is caused by the earths crust its just dirt and rock.
How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earths tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
What do the yellow arrows in this illustration represent in the earths core?
movement of earth's tectonic plates
Most geologists think that the movement of earths plates caused by?
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity
Why revolution is called annual movement of the earth?
It is caused by the earths tilt on its axis.

How does ash in earths atmosphere affect solar radition?
tectonic plate movement
What is directly linked to heat convection within earths interior?
Tectonic Plate Movement

What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
