Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What else can I help you with?
How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What is the geological theory that states that pieces of Earths crust are in constant slow motions is called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
What are earths two main motions called?
Rotation and Revolution.
How do plate motions effect Earth's crust?
it kills you to death
What is the study seismology?
Seismology is the study of the motions of the Earth's crust.
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
