What else can I help you with?
Does the sun support the process of plate tectonics?
No, the sun's energy heats the Earth's atmosphere and surface, but it does not directly drive plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is primarily driven by heat from the Earth's interior, specifically by the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle.
What do you call the physical process that shapes the earth?
Plate Tectonics
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
How are volanoes and the process of plate tectonics related?
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
What process causes stresses in earth?
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
What is the internal process that affects the surface of the earth?
The internal process that affects the surface of the Earth is called plate tectonics. This process involves the movement of large plates of Earth's lithosphere, which causes phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains. Plate tectonics is driven by the flow of mantle material beneath the Earth's crust.
Do plate tectonics last forever?
Plate tectonics will continue as long as the Earth's interior remains hot enough to drive the movement of plates. While the process may evolve or change over time, plate tectonics is expected to continue for millions of years.
Which planet has plate tectonics?
Earth.
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
Plate tectonics used in a sentence?
In geomorphology, Plate Tectonics is the process by which the continents and the oceanic plates are moved across the face of the Earth. This is driven by thermal upwelling in the mantle, and originates from radioactive energy generated in the core of the Earth.
What theory states that earth's surface is broken into separate plated?
Plate tectonics
What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
