What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
When two plates move towards each other, it is called convergence. The motion during convergence is usually called subduction if one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision if the two plates collide and form mountain ranges.
What are the large pieces of earths crust that move over the asthenosphere called?
The large pieces of Earth's crust that move over the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement of continents and the occurrence of geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is it called when tectonic plates move closer?
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
When tectonic plates move and slip what are they called in earths crush?
They are called earthquakes.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
How do earthqukes form?
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.

What might happen to rocks when the earths plates move?
Can someone answer this
