What are the many types of plate movements?
Transform, Divergent, Convergent are types of tectonic plate movements
Do tropical storms cause volcanoes and earthquakes?
No. Volcanoes and earthquakes, in simple terms, are produced by movements of Earth's tectonic plate and in the semisolid rocks of the mantle. They have absolutely nothing to do with tropical storms.
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
One hypothesis states that plate movements results from convection currents in the?
Earth's mantle. These convection currents are driven by heat from the Earth's core, which causes material in the mantle to become less dense and rise, and denser material to sink. This movement of the mantle material pushes and drags the tectonic plates along with it.
How are volcanoes formed by tectonic plates?
Plate tectonics can lead to volcanic activity in two ways. Where two tectonics plates pull apart, the crust becomes thinner, which decreases pressure on the upper mantle and allows rock the melt and move to the surface. At subduction zones, where a plate collision forces oceanic crust into the mantle, seawater dragged down with the plate alters the chemistry of the mantle rock, allowing it to melt at a lower temperature.
Drives the movements of the plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What movements of the earth's crust and mantle are referred to as?
Plate tectonics.
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What do plate movements causes that drives rocks through the rock cycle?
Pushing the rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magma again. plate movements also cause the folding, faulting, uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
What drives movement of the plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
Why do plates sink to the mantle?
The Earth's plates sink into the mantle because of one plate pushing another down, causing a subduction zone.
What drives plate movement by pushing rock back into the mantle where it melts?
Well rifts do the pushing, but gravity does the downward motion causing the melting.
What is importance of the mantle?
The mantle is where convection cells are formed. Convection currents help stimulate the tectonic plate movements thus recycling sediments and soil.
What is the mantle important?

What Plate may move because of this type of movements in the mantle?
Tectonic plates shift with other plate causeing either mountions or volcanoes
What type of plate boundary is mid-Atlantic?
The mid-Adtalntic is a divergent plate boundary, because new magma is coming up from the mantle and pushing the plates apart.
