What is the surface cooling that results when a substance evaporates?
surface cooling occours when a substance evaporates after taking sufficient heat from the body itself intended to be cooled, creates a sensation of cooling on the body. But in air conditioning the surface cooling, is one of the method of cooling, having different explanation.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What affects the surface of planets?
Usually the tectonic plates.
Do tectonic plates make caves?
Caves are formed in many ways but mostly by chemical weathering of the surface rock. Tectonic plates on the other hand are huge slabs of rock that form the Earth's crust. Caves are not formed by tectonic plates, think of caves as tiny boreholes in the very surface of a tectonic plate. I agree
Explain how volcanoes change the earth's surface?
by the moment of the tectonic plates
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
Which rigid zone on the earth' surface form drifting tectonic plates?
Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's "drifting" tectonic plates?
What is sometimes seen emerging from the sun's surface?
solar flares
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are the countries in the tectonic plate?
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.

The surface of the planet is broken into several?
tectonic platesContinents
What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
plate tectonic
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
What are tectonic movements?
Tectonic Plates are sections of the Earth's crust that are actually floating on the surface of the semi-molten Magma.
