What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
Scientists think plates are moved by?
volcanos and earthquakes
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by?
Convection currents in the asthenosphere
What do scientists use to measure the rate of movement of oceanic plates?
sea-floor spreading
What does the crustal plates movement causes?
Earthquakes. Pressure in the Earth's core.
What causes Rinjani to erupt?
the movement of the earth's plates under ground
The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
What do scientists now know about earth that would have answered the scientists who rejected wegeners theory?
the sea-floor spreading, and the movement of tectonic plates
What is the cause for earthquakes in Japan?
The Movement of Techtonic Plates causes the earthquakes in Japan.
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
