What else can I help you with?
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
What is the layer of the earth where volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur in the Earth's crust, specifically at tectonic plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through cracks and weak points in the crust. This process can happen at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What is the theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle move around on a speacial layer of the mantle?
Plate tectonics.
What process causes stress in Earths crust?
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What is plate tectonic plates?
its the earths crust
Theory that states that earths crust and upper mantle are broken into sections which move around on a spcial layer of th emantle?
plate tectonics
The outermost layer of the earth The layer of the earth where earthquakes occur?
The outermost layer of the Earth is called the crust. The layer of the Earth where earthquakes occur is called the lithosphere, which includes the uppermost part of the mantle along with the crust. Earthquakes are commonly associated with tectonic plate boundaries where plates interact and generate seismic activity.
What is the theory that earths crust is in a slow motion?
Plate Tectonics. The crust is in large, irregular plates shuffling around by new rock extruded from the upper Mantle in ocean plate boundaries, balanced by the loss of the fringes of the ocean-floor plates to subduction.
Which is the large sections of earths crust that are constantly moving?
Tectonic plates are large sections of Earth's crust that are constantly moving. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer underneath, causing them to shift and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
A blank is a crack in Earths crust?
Tectonic Plate.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
