A few centimeters a year.
What else can I help you with?
How do earths convection currents move?
from plate tectonics
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
What happens when earth's plate move?
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
Do volcanoes form when one plate is pushed under another plate and melting rock erupts on earths surface?
yes
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
What is the point on the earths surface where an earthquake shaking is the strongest is?
Near plate boundaries.
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
What does plate mean like in science?
they are under the earths surface and cause earth Quakes
The theory that earths lithosphere is broken into large sections that move is called?
Plate tectonics
What theory states that earths crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions rates over earths surface?
The theory that states Earth's crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions and rates over Earth's surface is known as plate tectonics. It explains how the lithosphere is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other, leading to various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
