Plate movements change the characteristics of the earth's surface by raising and lowering land, and changing the surface in other ways, This effects the life on earth.

∙ 13y agoWhen the two plates collide, there is much friction and tension between them at the boundary. That energy builds up at the plates continue moving towards each other. When the plates (or rather, rocks in the plates) cannot withstand the stress any longer, they release it in the form of earthquakes.

How did plate movement affect animals?
it maybe kill them
How do ocean currents travel around the earth?
they travel by underwater heat or plate movement which causes a disturbance and cause the water to go into huge movement that can affect all kinds of organic life even on land as well as in the water
How does the design of the inner core affect other parts of the earth?
Because the core is solid and hot, it radiates natural heat to the upper layers of the earth resulting to convection current. This current causes the movement of the tectonic plate of the earth resulting to earthquake
How plate tectonic results in the development of earth's major geologic features?
No movement
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
How is plate movement shape the way the earth looks like?
because the earth sits on "plates" making the movement go as a plate.
How did plate movement affect animals?
it maybe kill them
In which earth layer does crustal plate movement occur because of convection cells?
in which earth layers does crusal plate movement occur because of convection cells
Examples where friction is a problem on the earth?
at the end of earth Tectonic plate movement.
How does movement affect us?
We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.
What is the earth's plate movement responsible for?
Mountains, lakes, earthquakes.
What is the theory describing the movement of the Earth's continents?
Plate Tectonics
What land features result from the force of plate movement?
Mountains and deep cracks in the surface of Earth are features that result from the forces of the plate movement.
How does ash in earths atmosphere affect solar radition?
tectonic plate movement
How do the earth's systems interact as a result of plate movement?
hi ppl
What is the layer of earth under the crust in which plate movement is generated?
the mantle
What are some of the features of earth that are caused by plate movement?
mountains and earthquakes
