No, astronomers study space. Just remember that the prefix: astro-means space.
Geologists study the earth, including tectonic plates.
Scientists study seismic waves, GPS data, and magnetic anomalies to gather information about tectonic plates. By analyzing these sources of data, scientists can better understand the movement and interactions of tectonic plates.
no. It is the study of the tectonic plates and the earthquakes that form. It studies the seismic activities of these plates. Thus seismology.
Plate tectonics, which studies the large rock plates floating on Earth's mantle, is an interesting field of study.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Plate tectonics is the study of the large tectonic plates which float on the lithosphere, making up our crust.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Yes. Tectonic plates are in fact mostly solid.
