What Modern climates are a result of past movements of?
tectonic plates
What is one result of the movements of tetonic plates?
one goes under the other
Earthquakes result when forces push what along faults in earths lithosphere?
Earthquakes result when forces push plates along faults in the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are comprised of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.
What is the central idea of earthquakes?
The earth is made up of tectonic plates whose movements when they meet result in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
What can result from two plates in earths lithosphere colliding at a converging boundary?
mountains are made. from a fifth grader i look it up in my science book.
How are drumlins form?
A Drumlin is a sub-glacial land form. It is a result of catastrophic flooding due to the release of melt water accumulating beneath ice sheets of regional uplift of tectonic movements.
What is a catastrophic illness?
An illness that will result in death.
Do tectonic plates effect volcanoes and earthquakes?
There is an intricate set of techtonic plates that are located all over the earth. When volcanic eruptions occur then these plates can shift due to the excess pressure that the eruptions cause. This techtonic plate movement can then result in earthquakes.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
How do faults result in the formation of mountains?
Faults result in the formation of mountains due to the movements associated with plate tectonics. As two plates interact, one may end up being thrust high into the air, forming a mountain.
Movement of the crustal plate?
When the crustal plate moves it vibrates the earths crust and its plates. When the crust and plates are forced to move it can result in volcanic action.
Is earthquakes a result when forces push tectonic plates along faults in earth's lithosphere true or false?
I have the same question but its false it in my course 2 science textbook. I hope this helps and i dont know what forces plates along faults in earths lithosphere sorry!
