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.
What are three plate motions?
There are actually 4 types.....1.convergent-two plates pushing toward each other2.divergent-Two plates moving apart3.subduction-one plate is pulled under the edge of another4.Transform\lateral-Two plates slide past each other
What does divergent result in?
It results in sea floor spreading.
What is a result of crustal subsidence?
Where the crust erodes on the sides by layers and almost gets down to the pit
Sea-floor spreading is a result of?
Seafloor spreading occurs when two tectonic plates move further away from each at mid-ocean ridges. In these ridges new crust is formed through volcanic activity and thus expanding the seafloor.
What is the study of internal processes that result in crustal movement?
Plate tectonics.
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movements is called diastrophism. It is considered part of the field of geotectonics.
The study of the internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?
tectonics >novanet answer<
What feature will form as a result of the movement displayed?
oceanic rift valley
Which geological feature is the result of plate movement?
Earthquakes, Volcanos, etc.. :) hope it helped

Is a rift the result of a convergent fault?
No it is a result of a Divergent fault.
Do normal faults result in crustal shortening?
Normal faults thin and extend the earth's crust. Reverse faults cause crustal shortening and thickening.
Crust sinks deeper into the mantle as a result of increased crustal?
Earth science
What does divergent result in?
It results in sea floor spreading.
What process is the result of a divergent plate boundary?
is formed at a divergent plate boundary
