What do plate teconics refer to?
Plate tectonic is the state the outer portion of the earth crust composed rigid units called plates.
Are plate tectonics and plate movements the same thing?
No they are not the same thing. Plate Tectonics is the study of mechanisms and the results of large-scale movement of the earth's crust. Tectonic Plates are large sections of the earth's crust that float on top of semi-molten rocks of the upper mantle.
How often does Saturn move?
Saturn, as are all other planets, is in a constant state of motion around the Sun.
What does Newton's 1st law of motion state?
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Why are there so many earthquakes on the west coast of California?
because there are tectonic plates under the state and plenty more around the world.... when there moving they cause any natrul disasters
What is the state of matter of tectonic plates?
solid
Can your give me a sentence using the words tectonic plates?
The tectonic plates slide together, causing an earthquake to erupt across the southern part of the state.
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
How do to use tectonic plates in a sentence?
A long section of tectonic plates under California means the State experiences small earthquakes every day.The tectonic plates under Mount Everest produced a 7.8 earthquake in Nepal in May 2015.Scientists know that as tectonic plates pass move by each other, it causes major upheaval underground which causes an earthquake.
What do you call particles that are in a constant state of motion and are electrified?
Electrons
Particles in constant motion are considered what state of matter?
vagina
The border between two tectonic plates lies below the state of California. The interaction of these two plates results in which of the following?
Frequent earthquakes
Why is New York state unlikely to have a volcanic eruption?
There are not tectonic plates near by and that's where volcanic activity is prone to happen
Do tectonic plates 'float' on the surface of the mantle?
The tectonic plates (the lithosphere) are made of the crust and upper brittle part of the mantle. They 'float' on the hotter and softer mantle below, which is still a solid, but can flow like plasticine (the asthenosphere)
The condition of an object such that it is not accelerating is?
In a constant state of motion (which may actually be stationary).
What particles that make up matter are in a state of?
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
What is the correct name for circular motion?
If the motion is truly in the form of a circle, the phrase uniform circular motion describes it appropriately. This means that the object is in a constant state of motion about a fixed point at a constant distance from that point. Circular motion can be considered an acceleration, because an acceleration describes any change in velocity or direction. Since circular motion involves constant change in direction, the object exhibits constant acceleration.
