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.


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


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 do scientist believe is happening is to the segments of earth's crust?

Scientists believe that the segments of Earth's crust, known as tectonic plates, are constantly moving and interacting with each other. This movement leads to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the creation of mountain ranges. The study of plate tectonics helps us understand the dynamic processes shaping the Earth's surface.


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.


What is happening to old oceanic crust?

Diablo III has received positive reviews from critics, attaining scores of 87.77% and 88/100 on aggregate review websites GameRankings and Metacritic.


Where are 3 places in nature that you can find convection currents happening?

Three places in nature where you can find convection currents happening are in the ocean, where warm water rises and cooler water sinks, in the atmosphere, where warm air rises and cool air sinks to create weather patterns, and in the Earth's mantle, where heat from the core drives convection currents that power plate tectonics.


What is happening in earth's crust along the san Andreas fault to cause high earthquake risk?

Lwt me guess...a review and assement test? thats what i'm working onright now!


How are the Alps forming?

The Alps were formed as a result of plate movements of the Earth's crust. Africa pushed north into Europe, and as a result the Alps formed. This is still happening, and the Alps are still rising.
