What else can I help you with?
Are there plate tectonics in Rhode Island?
Yes, Rhode Island is located on the North American Plate, which is part of the larger system of plate tectonics. While Rhode Island is not situated on a plate boundary where major tectonic activity occurs, the movement of the plates can still affect the region through earthquakes and other geological processes.
What geological theory states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in constant slow motion?
The theory of plate tectonics states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere, called tectonic plates, are in constant slow motion, driven by processes such as seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift. These movements can result in events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
What is seaflooring spreading?
It is part of continental drift and plate tectonics.
What areas are vulnerable to earthquake in the world?
Plate tectonics (sp?) cause the west coast of North America, the east coast of Asia, the northern part of the subcontinent (known as India) and northeast part of Africa to be most vulnerable to earthquakes.
Why do plate tectonics occur?
i do not think anyone knows in the whole world then...come really that's why they invented this site
What is the relationship between the earthquake and the plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.
What is the part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Plate tectonics
What part of the earth is considered to be broken up into plate tectonics?
Core
What part of the geosphere are involved in plate tectonics?
The Mantle and Earth's crust
What is it when pieces of earth's crust are in constant slow motion called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
Do modern scientists believe in the theory of plate tectonic?
Yes. Plate tectonics is part of the current principal theory that seems to explain the formation of geologic faults, rifts, earthquakes, sea floor spreading, and even some diversification of species, among other phenomena.
What is the geological theory that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
