What Produced as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
an earthquake
Does the crust of the earth move?
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
What happens to the old oceanic crust as new molten material rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
What section of earths crust moves when an earthquake occurs?
all of it it is the lower part of it
What moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?

What can happen to the Earth's surface when the vibrations from an earthquake travel through the crust?
hg
What Produced as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?

What moves the crust?
Convection currents.
How does an earthquake move?
An earthquake moves due to the plates under the Earth's crust moving
Does the crust of the earth move?
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
Does the Earth's crust move through the oceans?
In a sense, yes. The oceans lay on top of the crust. As the crust moves on top of the mantle at a speed roughly equivalent to the rate of fingernail growth, the ocean gets out of the way.
What is the word that goes with this definition the crust and the outermost layer of the mantle that moves are?
the lithosphere.
How is convection in the mantle related to the movements of the tectonic plates?
because it moves the crust
Describe the movement of the crust at a hotspot?
The crust moves in 1 direction at a hotspot due to the convection currents of the mantle
What happens to the earth's crust moves suddenly to a fault?
A sudden movement of the Earth's crust is called an earthquake.
