What are earths techtonic plates made of?
massive rocks
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
What is the idea of giant plates of rock moving slowly across earths surface called?
rocks
What does category of earthquake mean?
the moving or depositioning of rocks underneath the surface of the earth when th earths plates collide
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.
How do earthquakes happen-?
Earthquakes happen when under the ground rocks break at a fault. The rocks then break it release of energy which causes semi waves.
Plates are composed of earths crust and?
dirt and rigid rocks
What does rocks in earths mantle contain a higher percentage of what than rocks in earths crust?
iron and magnesium
How do intrusiver rocks form?
intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
What do folds in the earths mostly form on?
Folds in the Earth's crust primarily form on convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. The immense pressure and stress from the plates' movement cause the rocks to deform and bend, resulting in fold formations.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
