What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
What is the force that move the Earth's plates?
The force that causes most of the plate movement is thermal convection, where heat from the earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the of plate the crust along with them.
Can earthquakes cause volcano erruptions?
Earthquakes can cause volcanos to errupt by the plates moving and crashing into one other which creates an earthquake(when plates collide it causs an earthquake) so the force of the earthquake causes a volcano erruption.
Is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other.?
Tension is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other. This can cause built up stress that releases suddenly and causes earthquakes.
What does an earthquake's intensity primarily depend on?
The Intensity of an earthquake primarily depends on the force the earths plates collide against each other (the heavier plate would go down wards {oceanic plates} and the lighter plates {the Continental plates} go up up wards) , and that vibrations cause a earthquake.
What is the force that probably propels the movement of the earths rock plates?
The earth is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates are propelled by convection in the mantle layer below the crust (lithosphere)
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
What is the reason an object keeps moving once an applied force causes it to start moving?
An object keeps moving once an applied force causes it to start moving because of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
What causes the acceleration of moving objects?
Force is the only thing that causes the accelerationof material objects, whether they're moving or not.
What force makes two plates jerk into a new position?
The force responsible for making two tectonic plates jerk into a new position is typically the release of built-up stress along a fault line, resulting in an earthquake. This sudden movement is known as fault slippage and can occur from the accumulation of strain over time due to the slow motion of the plates against each other. This sudden release of energy causes the plates to move and can result in seismic activity.
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart?
it may be gravity
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
