Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in which layers?
mantle or upper mantle
How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to present concerns about air pollution and global warming?
There is practically no connection between plate tectonics, air pollution and global warming.
What is the theory that Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into plates that float around and move on a plastic like layer of the mantle?
It is the theory of plate tectonics.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What movements of the earth's crust and mantle are referred to as?
Plate tectonics.
Are convection currents related to plate tectonics?
A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.
Did the upper mantle or core of earths surface drive the plate tectonics?
The mantle, being of a silly-putty-like consistancy, is responsible for the movement of the plates on earth's crust, or plate tectonics.
Does plate tectonics occur on venus?
No. Plate tectonics are not possible on Venus because the crust is too thick and the upper mantle is not softened by water.
Where is the asthenosphere and what does it do?
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
What is the part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Plate tectonics
What part of the geosphere are involved in plate tectonics?
The Mantle and Earth's crust
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in which layers?
mantle or upper mantle
