What else can I help you with?
How do plates cause ocean basins?
the earth.
Why do faults in the earth cause earthquake?
Because the earth's plates shift
Major cause of earthquakes?
when the earth plates rattle
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
When earth plates slide past each other does that cause a earthquake?
Yes ♥The tectonic plates.
What do geologists think cause the earth's plates to move?
Geologists believe that the movement of the Earth's plates is caused by the heat from the Earth's core creating convection currents in the mantle. These currents cause the plates to slowly drift and move over time, a process known as plate tectonics.
Most common cause of an earthquake?
Movement in the Earth's crust (plates).
Where two of the earth's plates meet in California movement of these plates can cause and earthquake?
The San-Andreas fault line.
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
What cause the land from to change over time?
The plates shifting underneath the earth.
What cause faults and earthquakes?
Movement of tectonic plates which are parts of the Earth's crust.
Does a tidal drift cause lithospheric plates to move constantly?
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
