How did plate movement shape Canada?
it didnt
What changes the shape and volume of the rock?
The forces of plate movement can change a flat plain into landforms produced by folding, stretching, and uplifing Earth's crust.
What caused the shape of the Earth?
1. weathering-physical and/or chemical2. erosion-different agents of weathering3.mass movement-land and mud slides4. tectonic plate movement-convergent and/or divergent5. gravity

What do you call the physical processes that shape the earth?
Plate Tectonics
Are the continents interconnected?
Yes, the continents are interconnected through plate tectonics. Over millions of years, the movement of tectonic plates has brought the continents to their current positions. This movement continues to shape the Earth's surface.
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
What created the bering strait between the Asian and north American continents?
The Bering Strait was formed by plate tectonics, specifically the movement of the Earth's crust along the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. This movement continues to shape the region today, influencing both the geography and climate of the area.
What causes the continents movement?
Plate tectonics cause movements of continents whether its colliding or separating. For more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
What helped the newly formed earth become a sphere in shape?
plate tectonics
What are the two major forces that shape and reshape earth and why?
volcanism and plate tectonics
