What else can I help you with?
What are two bad things that can happen as a result of plate tectonics how did plate tectonics cause these events?
Tidal waves, Earthquakes, landslides
How are volanoes and the process of plate tectonics related?
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
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.
How is plate tectonics related to Natural Hazards?
Plate tectonics is related to natural hazards because the movement of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. These events can lead to significant damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and environmental impacts. Understanding plate tectonics helps predict and mitigate the risks associated with these natural hazards.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics and earthquakes related?
Yes, earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates 'slip'.
Which of geologic processes formed most of californias nonmetalic mineral resources?
plate tectonics
Does seismologic evidence support plate tectonics?
yes it represets plate tectonics
Instrument used in studying plate tectonics?
instruments used in plate tectonics?
How are plate tectonics and evolution related?
Plate tectonics and evolution are related through the concept of continental drift. The movement of tectonic plates over millions of years has created and destroyed habitats, influenced climate patterns, and shaped geographical barriers that have driven speciation and evolution of organisms. This process has led to biogeographical patterns and genetic diversity seen in species today.
