What else can I help you with?
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
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 is plate tectonic plates?
its the earths crust
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.
A blank is a crack in Earths crust?
Tectonic Plate.
What is the name for the part of earths crust?
Tectonic plate
What is the movements of plates of the earths crust you?
Plate Techtonics.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
Large section of earths crust that moves as one unit?
Plate
Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
Which has not been proposed as a mechanism of plate motions?
The idea that plate motions are caused by electromagnetic forces has not been widely proposed as a mechanism of plate motions. The most accepted mechanism is the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that plate motions result from the movement of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Other proposed mechanisms include ridge push, slab pull, and mantle plumes.
