The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
Why do the Earths plates move?
because they are pushing against one another and so it causes fricton. when there is fricton the plates move and create a earth quake and or creves
What constructive force is anything that causes the land to move?
teck tonic plates
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
What The effects that causes objects to a move in a curved direction due to earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
What causes earths plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
What causes earths changes to earths landforms?
the tectonic platesthe tectonic plates can be move to be far and near to each other
Is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other.?
Tension is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other. This can cause built up stress that releases suddenly and causes earthquakes.
What is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other?
Tension is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other. This can cause built up stress that releases suddenly and causes earthquakes.
What process causes earths plates to move?
The process of 'earth plates moving' is Alfred Wageners theory of continental drift. This theory proposes that convenction currents in the earths mantle provides a 'cushion' on which the plates can move.
Why do the Earths plates move?
because they are pushing against one another and so it causes fricton. when there is fricton the plates move and create a earth quake and or creves
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.
What constructive force is anything that causes the land to move?
teck tonic plates
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
What do geologists think causes earths plates to move?
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
