What else can I help you with?
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
What Modern climates are a result of past movements of?
tectonic plates
Why is Philippines part of Asia?
It is because of the movements the of tectonic plates.
What are the GPC?
GPC is the way to measure the movements of the tectonic plates in centimeters...
Do both islands and continents move?
Yes they are both above the Tectonic plates therefore follow tectonic movements
What are tectonic movements?
Tectonic Plates are sections of the Earth's crust that are actually floating on the surface of the semi-molten Magma.
What is a seimologist?
A seismologist studies the movement of the earth's tectonic plates and, by extension, earthquakes. They use seismographs and other tools to track imperceptible movements that may predict an upcoming seismic event.
How can rivers show tectonic plate movements?
Rivers cannot directly show tectonic plate movements. However, the sources of rivers are commonly found in mountains, which are often an indicator of the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What is one result of the movements of tetonic plates?
One result of the movements of tectonic plates is the formation of earthquakes. When tectonic plates interact, they can create stress that builds up and eventually causes the Earth's crust to shift suddenly, resulting in seismic activity.
What do you call the pieces of the Earth's crust?
The pieces of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other, causing movements such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What movement listed is NOT a movement that tectonic plates experience?
One movement that tectonic plates do not experience is "oscillation." While tectonic plates primarily engage in movements such as convergence, divergence, and transform faulting, oscillation refers to a back-and-forth motion that is not characteristic of tectonic plate interactions. Instead, tectonic plates move in response to forces generated by the Earth's mantle and other geological processes.
