What forces squeezes or pull the rock in earths crust?
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
Describe two ways catastrophic events can change Earths crust?
tragic
Landforms formed by forces pushing up earths crust?
Landforms formed by forces pushing up earth's crust are called upwarped mountains. Examples of these are the Black Hills and the Southern Rocky Mountains.
Are all metals in the earths crust?
Yes all metals are in the earths crust in ore form.
What forces squeezes or pull the rock in earths crust?
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What is the answer to Earths surface can be changed by natural forces such as?
Umm, I think the crust.
Theory that explains changes in Earths crust by internal forces?
Plate tectonics
What is a change in the volume or shape of earths crust?
Deformation
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
What is vertical Positioning of the Earths crust so that gravitational an buoyont forces balance called?
Isostasy
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What are three events that change the earths crust slowly?
Erosian, weathering.
Any change in the volume or shape of the earths crust called?
after shock
Why do isostasy occurs?
equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses
