seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.
convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.
divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.
transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.

What do you call the movements of the earths crust?
Tectonics.
What is the movements of plates of the earths crust you?
Plate Techtonics.
What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
Can the US gov create an earthquake?
no. earthquakes are set off by sudden movements in the earths crust
What is the size of the earths crust?

Terrane in a sentence?

What is the name of the person who specializes in the study of earthquakes and other movements of the earths crust?
A seismologist specializes in the study of earthquakes and other movements of the Earth's crust. They analyze seismic waves to understand Earth's internal structure and study the causes and effects of seismic activity.
What are the different types of earthquakes?
I think there are three types of earthquakes one is the earths crust
What type of mountain is form by upward movements by ckunks of earths crust?
Fold mountains are formed by the upward movements of chunks of the Earth's crust. This occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing horizontal compression and the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of fold mountains like the Himalayas.
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
