What type of heat transfer cause plates to move?
dont know
What pull of gravity makes surface material move?
what way gravity move material
What is the force that causes things to move in space?
A force can cause an object to move if the amount of the force in the direction of movement is larger than the Frictional force of the object against the object on which it rests, and can overcome its Inertia.
What is an object that uses gravity to move?
everything uses gravity! if gravity was absent we all would be flaoting!!
Why is friction greatest when an object is stationary?
Because the frictional force must be greater than forces that would cause the object to move. Example: a car parked on a slope does not move despite the force of gravity acting to pull it down the hill. Why? Because the frictional forces are greater than the forces of gravity.
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move?
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move? What are the consequences of convection in the mantle?
What might cause tectonic plates to move?
What cause tectonic plates to move are disruptions in the Earth. They simply move, practically an inch or less each year if I'm correct, just by gravity and the rotation of the Earth each day and year. What happens when they move, if they collide, they can cause major disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, constant waves rolling in, floods, things like that.
Do plates move because of gravity?
No, plates do not move because of gravity. They move because of the convection currents in the Earth's interior. The heat rises up from the core and moves the lithospheric plates across Earth's surface. The main source is heat left over from the formation of our planet.
What helps water move around the earth?
Winds, gravity, plates.
Do convection current in oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What heat transfer cause plates to move?
evaporation
Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
Does convection cause tectonic plates to move?
Yes indeed.
Does gravity cause groundwater to move through connecting pores of Earth's crust?
gravity does do that
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
What may be the main cause of the plates to move?
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
