What else can I help you with?
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What causes earths changes to earths landforms?
the tectonic platesthe tectonic plates can be move to be far and near to each other
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
When tectonic plates move and slip what are they called in earths crush?
They are called earthquakes.
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How the quake form?
by the earths energy The Earth's tectonic plates move against one another in a sudden way.
When tectonic plates move slip past each other they cause in earths crust?
Faults, and plate rupture.
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
What are the large pieces of earths crust that move over the asthenosphere called?
The large pieces of Earth's crust that move over the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement of continents and the occurrence of geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What happens as earths mantle drags on the bottom of techtonic plates?
As Earth's mantle drags on the bottom of tectonic plates, it creates stress and friction that can cause the plates to move. This movement can result in various tectonic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges as the plates interact with each other.
Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
