What is the study of lithospheric plates called?
plate tectonics
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
What are the Plate tectonics for Haiyuan ningxia China?
the study of lithospheric plates ,their movements and earth's features that they affect.
How does plate movement affect the formation of folded mountains?
geologists believe the force may be caused by the collision of lithospheric plates.......
Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of a lithospheric plate will change as the resistance in the path of convection is increased or decreased because of the types of convergent collisions.
What is the study of lithospheric movement?
Seismology / Geology / Tectonophysics / Plate Tectonics.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.

How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plate?
Fill the gap between separating plates.
What are the Plate tectonics for Haiyuan ningxia China?
the study of lithospheric plates ,their movements and earth's features that they affect.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
Movement of lithospheric plates at convergent boundaries can result in the subduction of one plate beneath another. This subduction creates conditions for magma to form as the subducting plate melts. The rising magma then reaches the surface, leading to the formation of volcanoes.

Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of a lithospheric plate will change as the resistance in the path of convection is increased or decreased because of the types of convergent collisions.
The plate tectonic theory can best be described as?
earth's natural process by which its lithospheric plates slowly move about because of movement in the asthenosphere
