Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Which part of earths is divided into plates?
Inner core
What is the earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates
Where is the tropical cancer located?
It is situated a little over 23 degrees north of the Equator, it is not a fixed location and is presently (very slowly) drifting south
The Earth's plates are presently drifting on?
The Earth's tectonic plates drift above a thick layer called the mantle. It makes up about 84 of the Earth's volume.
Which process is currently accepted explanation of the movement of drifting continents?
the convection currents in the mantle under the earths curst is moving the broken plates in earths lithosphere causing the plates slide across the lithosphere. this process is called tectonics. (jon lay wrote this,)
What is research that shows pangaea will happen again?
Plate tectonics. The earths plates are always drifting and will one day drift so far that they will meet again.
Which rigid zone on the earth' surface form drifting tectonic plates?
Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's "drifting" tectonic plates?
How do scientists think earths crust moves?
The crustal plates (made mostly of low density granitic rock) float on the mantle (made mostly of high density basaltic rock). Convection cells in the mantle move the floating crustal plates around.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
The earths surface is broken into large pieces what are they called?
Tectonic Plates
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
