The theory of plate tectonics states that the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces of earth driven by convection currents located inside the mantle.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
The crust.
Tectonic Plates
the earths crust
yo but holeLimestone deposits that began as coral reefs provide evidence of how plate motions have changed Earth's surface. These deposits also provide evidence of past environments.
The motion in the mantle is known as convection currents which helps move earth's slabs, known as plates. Convection occurs in the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
Rotation and Revolution.
Rotation and Revolution.
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
Earths lithosphere is made up of upper mantle. The earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections and it is called as tectonic plates or plate tectonics.
