Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
What helps water move around the earth?
Winds, gravity, plates.
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
How does knowing about the earths interior help us understand plate tectonics?
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.
What is the name of the movement of material from the center of the earth outwards this helps to carry heat and move plates?
convection currents
How did the brazilian east coast range form?
because of the compression boundary. they form when the compression boundary is pushed together to the end. the fault is strike slip which helps because it helps move the plates together. the stress is the normal stress which helps bring the plates apart.
How often do lithospheric plates move?
Lithospheric plates move constantly at a very slow rate, typically around a few centimeters per year. This movement is driven by the slow convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing the plates to either diverge, converge, or slide past each other at plate boundaries.
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
Do all the tectonic plates move at the same rate?
No, tectonic plates move at different rates. Some plates move faster than others, while some plates move very slowly. The movement of the plates is driven by the underlying convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
Do oceanic plates move?
the ocean plates move because of the movement of the the tectonic plates beneath the ocean and do to the motion of the oceans currents.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
