What can occur to earths surface as a result of plate tectonics?
they shake and crack it.
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
How do plutons become visible at earths surface if they are formed underground?
erosion and plate tectonics
What makes up a typical plate that moves across the earths surface?
a section of both continental and oceanic lithosphere
What builds up earths surface?
Earth's land surface is built up by a process called tectonic subduction.Related Information:This process occurs as one tectonic plate is subducted (slips under) another, while the subducting plate is elevated as it moves over the subducted plate. The subducted plate is most commonly a oceanic plate.
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What is the motion of the earths plate like?
Slow and constant.
Theory that pieces of earths lithosphere are in constant motion driven by convection currents in the mantle?
Two words - plate tectonics - describe the theory that the surface of the earth is in constant motion.
How Does a plate move on the earths surface?
A few centimeters a year.
What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
plate tectonic
What is the theory that earths surface is made of movable plates?
Plate Tectonics.
What can occur to earths surface as a result of plate tectonics?
they shake and crack it.
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
What theory explains the movement of the pieces of earths surface?
theory of plate tectonics
What theory explains the movement of pieces of earths surface?
