Lithosphere plates move slow or fast?
lithosperic plates move fast why do you think we cant see it happining?
Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
Asthenosphere
Does convection cause tectonic plates to move?
Yes indeed.
Does convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
false
The Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion due to several factors Temperature and density differences in the plates cause push and pull forces that move the plates?
The volcanic activey under the crust causes the tectonic plates to move
Why do lithosperic PLATES move constantly?
mantle movements

Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
Asthenosphere
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move?
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move? What are the consequences of convection in the mantle?
Do convection current in oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What heat transfer cause plates to move?
evaporation
Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
Does convection cause tectonic plates to move?
Yes indeed.
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
What may be the main cause of the plates to move?
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
Does convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
false
