Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
What is a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface?
Lithospheric plates are a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface.
Why does the earths surface look the way it does?
The Earth's surface looks the way it does because of the way the wind, water, and the tectonic plates move under the surface. They have shaped the surface into what it is today through millions of years of change.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
Explain two ways that the movement of earths plates changes the surface of earth?
by rotation and also by erosition
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What causes the creation of dome mountains?
the creation is cause but the movement of the plates under the earths surface hope that helps.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
The earths surface is broken into large pieces what are they called?
Tectonic Plates
