What else can I help you with?
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What the earth would be like with no plate tectonics?
Their would be no mountains.
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?
plate movement and plate tectonics
Would you die if there was no plate tectonics?
short answer, Yes
If convection currents did not exist would plate tectonics still move?
NO
Can faults and plates or plate tectonics be removed?
No. If they were we would all be at the bottom of the sea.
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
What are hotspots?
Hotspots are portions of the Earth's surface that experience significant volcanism thought to be due to mantle plumes. They are normally located at a distance from plate boundaries where the majority of volcanism occurs.An example of a hotspot would be that underlying Hawaii and is responsible for the volcanism there and the creation of the Hawaiian island chain.
Which word best matches the meaning of the word tectonics?
"Geology" would be the best match for the word tectonics. Tectonics refers to the study of the Earth's lithosphere and its movements, which includes processes like earthquakes, mountain-building, and plate tectonics.
What would be likely to happen to the rock cycle if earth interior cooled so much that plate motions stopped?
If plate motions stopped due to Earth's interior cooling, the rock cycle would be disrupted. Without plate tectonics, processes like subduction and mountain building, which are crucial for the rock cycle, would cease. This could lead to a decrease in the recycling of rocks, limiting the formation of new rocks and affecting the overall dynamics of the Earth's geology.
What is a non example of plate tectonics?
well to me a non example of a earthquake would be...wait i don't even know that's why im here ha ha well what can i say im only 13
