What do scientist believe is happening is to the segments of earth's crust?
what do scientist believe is happening to the segments of the earths crust
What do scientists believe that is happening to the segments of earths crust?
it has been washed into the oceans as the continental crust has eroded.
Where are 3 places in nature that you can find convection currents happening?
The mantle under the Earth's crust, the sea and the Earth's crust.
What is happening at the mid atlantic ridge?
New crust is being formed.
What do the scientist believed is happening to the segment of Earth's crust which are called plates?
they believe that the earth is moving
What is likely happening at the boundary between the Nazca plate and the South American plate?
Answer this question… Subduction of oceanic crust beneath continental crust
What is happening along the Mid-Ocean Ridge?
Lots of things. Most of which are leading to the creation of new oceanic crust.
Did earthquakes happened a million years ago?
Most certainly. They've been happening since the crust formed.
When will a continental drift happen?
It's happening RIGHT NOW, right under your feet. The movement of tectonic plates is so slow that you have no idea it's happening, but the earth's crust is very dynamic.
What is happening during compression?
Mountains form and push apart the Earth's crust.
Where was the continental drift?
Continental drift occurs under the earths crust by convection currents in the mantle which drives the plates. It has been happening since the development of the earths core and is happening now and until the end of the earth.
Why is oceanic sub ducted under continental crust?
By the convection processes happening in the mantel and by is own density (it is cold rock) with respect to the rest of the mantle.
