What theory states that plates move around the asthenosphere?
plate tectonics
What theory states plates move around on the asthenosphere?
It is plate tectonics.
What theory states tht plates move around the asthenosphere?
plate tectonics
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
What theory that plates move around on the asthenosphere?
It is plate tectonics.
What theory states that earth's surface is broken into separate plated?
Plate tectonics
What is the theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on the top of the asthenosphere called?
The theory is called 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 a theory of isostacy?
The theory of isostasy states that the Earth's lithosphere floats on the denser, semi-fluid layer beneath it (the asthenosphere) in gravitational equilibrium, causing adjustments in the elevation of the Earth's surface due to variations in crustal thickness and density. Isostatic equilibrium occurs when the weight of the lithosphere is balanced by the buoyancy provided by the asthenosphere.
What is the theory that states the sun is the center of the universe and the planets revolve around it?
The Heliocentric Theory is the theory that states the Sun is the center of the Solar System and all other celestial objects revolve around it. Supporting observations about the theory were by Galileo Galilei.
What question does the theory of plate tectonics answer that the theory of continental drift couldn't?
The theory of plate tectonics answers how and why the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large tectonic plates that move around on the asthenosphere. It explains the mechanisms driving the movement of these plates, such as seafloor spreading and subduction, which were not fully addressed in the theory of continental drift.
Why is the asthenosphere important to the theory of plate tectonics?
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
