What else can I help you with?
What are two bad things that can happen as a result of plate tectonics how did plate tectonics cause these events?
Tidal waves, Earthquakes, landslides
How did sonar help in understanding plate tectonics?
They could detect sound waves
Can plate tectonics form earthquake and how?
the plates grind up against each other sending sending shock waves
What is sonar and how it uses the theory of plate tectonics?
Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to detect and locate objects underwater. When mapping the ocean floor, sonar can provide data that supports the theory of plate tectonics by revealing patterns of seafloor spreading, subduction zones, and the shape of mid-ocean ridges. This data helps scientists better understand the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
What clues helped geologists learn about earth's interior?
Volcanic eruptions, siesmic wave patterns, plate tectonics activities.
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
Is the earth's surface always changing?
Earth's surface is subject to the slow but immutable changes due to plate tectonics. The action of water, wind and other weather affect the earth. Note that weather is generally considered to be sun-driven. The affect of the tectonic-spawned actions of vulcanism, earthquakes and tidal waves has an impact. Things visiting from space can make a difference as well.The weather, meteor and asteroid impacts, and plate tectonics cause changes in the surface features of the Earth.
How does wind affect ocean waves?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
How does gravity waves form's tornadoes?
Gravity waves have nothing to do with tornadoes.
What is the name of a scientist that studies seismic waves?
A seismologist. Names, I'm not so good at.
How does gravity affect Earth's water?
The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves. The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.
What wave doesn't need matter for energy transfer?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, and still convey energy through oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, X-rays, and radio waves.
