What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What is the movement and interaction plates called?
plate tectonics
Is the movement of plates to form land masses is called plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates* :DD
Is plate tectonics where plates meet?
"Plate tectonics" refers to the process by which the plates move, combining stress, thermal expansion, melting, subduction, rifting, and faulting. Tectonics is from the Latin word for "building" and the various continental plates are called "tectonic plates" because they are built from magma and manipulated by the flow of hot, fluid rock beneath them.The points at which plates intersect are called boundaries. Along these are various faults, which are discontinuities caused by the complex motion of subsurface rock.
What are the types of plate tectonics?
There are four types of plate tectonics, namely major plates, minor plates, ancient plates and plates within orogens.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics?
They are the same thing.
How does the motions in the asthenosphere can move tectonic plates?
The asthenosphere lies beneath the lithosphere, which is where the tectonic plates lie. Because of the high temperature, the asthenosphere has the property to flow (plasticity); the tectonic plates "float" on this flow.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
How do plate tectonics cause mountains?
When two plates come into contact, one goes beneath the other pushing up the other resulting in either a mountain or volcano.
What are plates in the Earth's crust?
the tectonics plates will stick together.
What is the duration of What Lies Beneath?
The duration of What Lies Beneath is 2.17 hours.
What carries the tectonics plates?
the trays

When was What Lies Beneath released?
What Lies Beneath was released on 07/21/2000.
What is what lies beneath rated?
What Lies Beneath (2000) is rated PG-13.
