tectonic plates shifting. One moves under another and this causes the growth of new crust
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
Tension
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
Pressure from the earths core
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
Because the density of the force increases.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
mantle
The earth's crust is not stress
a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates
