What else can I help you with?
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Do the plates move because of ocean currents?
No, tectonic plates do not move due to ocean currents. Instead, they are driven by processes in the Earth's mantle, such as convection currents caused by heat from the Earth's core. These mantle convection currents create forces that push and pull the plates, leading to their movement. Ocean currents, while they can influence surface processes and weather patterns, do not have a significant effect on the movement of tectonic plates.
What is caused by the movement of the plates?
The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.
Movement and current status of pacific plates?
The Pacific Plate is one of the major tectonic plates that make up Earth's lithosphere. It is moving northwest at a rate of about 10 cm per year. The current status of the Pacific Plate is that it is continuously moving and interacting with other tectonic plates, leading to various geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Where can the effect of plate movement be seen?
The most obvious effect of plate movement can be seen at the plate boundaries, and most obviously at those boundaries where the plates are moving towards each other, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges eg. Himalayan Mountains, Andes in Sth America
what effect do Tectonic plate movement have on death valley?
As the tectonic plates “stretched” the crust, the valley’s basin continuously slipped downwards. This process is far from over, as where tectonic plates move, so is Death Valley gains in size.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
What mountains to form?
Movement of the plates.
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
