What in earths interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
Which movement of the Earths crust implies that the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust?
Plate tectonic movement and subduction zones.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation of movement and subduction of earths layers?
Plate tectonics describes the movement of Earth's lithosphere, or outer shell, which is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. These plates can collide, move apart, or slide past one another, leading to phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building. Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate slides beneath another, usually involving an oceanic plate descending below a continental plate.
What theory explains the movement of the pieces of earths surface?
theory of plate tectonics
What theory explains the movement of pieces of earths surface?
Plate tectonics is the theory that explains the movement of Earth's surface. It states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with one another. This movement is responsible for various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What effect do sea floor and subduction have on earths surface?
They both can change the size of Earths Surface
What do you think subduction means?
subduction is when a piece of the earths crust slides back into the mantle due to density differences
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
