What do tetonic plates consist of?
The plate tectonic theory is the belief that the earth's surface moves gradually over time and is not fixed. The theory holds true to the evidence of earthquakes which are the result of plates moving in opposite directions against each other.
What happened to rocks and fossils as the tectonic plates separated and drifted apart?
They were carried along with the plates to new locations.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Plates and the rocks that compose them are moving apart at these places?
diverging plates
Does the moon have moving plates or active volcano's?
No, the Moon no longer has a molten core, so there no active volcanos or moving tetonic plates.
Volcanos form a ring of fire around the plate boundaries in the pacific ocean how might this provide evidence that the plates are moving?
Volcanoes are ofrenda found in subduction
What evidence reasoning to geologist use to support the idea that plates are moving?
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Is plate tectonics the main lines of evidence are fossils climate clues rock and the theory of seafloor spreading?
Plates tectonics
Where in the US is there evidence that plates are moving with respect to each other?
In california by san Fransisco
How you know the crust of the earth is continually moving?
The most obvious evidence is that South America "fits" into Africa; this had been noticed as far back as the 16th century. More scientific evidence is that there are common plants and fossils on South America and African coasts. Nowadays, GPS navigation is precise enough to actually measure the continents moving. Also whenever there are earthquakes the earth is moving its plates which is more proof
What evidence is there to prove that continents are still moving and colliding?
The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges
What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What evidence of earths climate in the past supports the theory of contnental drift?
It is not so much the climate, but it is the tectonic plates movement, and fossils of extincted animals on different continents that support this theory. Also, fossils support the theory of evolution that was proven by Charles Darwin.

What is another word for tectonic plates?
moving plates
