it affects it because any earthquake or different types of events happens an it will affect plate tectonics because it is stronger then plate tectonics for example lava or magma when a volcanos errupts it could burn some plate tectonic when theres a sunami it could also affected especialy if theres a earthquake for example 5.8 or bigger since the streets brake into pieces it could affect it

Explain plate tectonics and the mechansim of continental drift?
Plate tectonics describes the motion of the Earth's lithosphere which brings about continental drift due to convection currents.
Which two factors are most important to the existence of plate tectonics on Earth?
mantle convection and a thin lithosphere
Which layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics?
The crust. These plates of the earth's surface/crust slowly move over the magma in the earth because of convection and other forces. The theory of these plates moving is known as 'plate tectonics'.
What is a brief description of plate tectonics?
A brief description of plate tectonics would be the theory that parts of Earth's lithosphere are always in motion, driven by the convection currents inside the mantle.
Convection currents within the Earth cause plate tectonics due to the movement of the mantle true or false?
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What subjects in Earth Science is convection found?
Plate tectonics subject
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
The primary force that causes sea floor to spread?
Convection currents in the earth's mantle. Release of heat from earth's interior.

What is the study of the forces within the earth that cause earth's crust to move called?
earthquakes or continental drift

Convection in the Earth's mantle does what?
helps transfer internal heat outward.
