What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
How do scientist make predictions about plate tectonics of the future?
Sometimes they study the way the plates move. They can either move convergently, divergently, or transforming.
What are the plates that move and the lithosphere is made of them?
tectonic plates
How does the earth's plates move on top of the crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move?
What is convection and how does it cause plates to move? What are the consequences of convection in the mantle?
What type of plates collide to form Krakatoa?
The Eurasian and the Indian Plates collided to make Krakatoa (also known as Krakatau) erupt
How did the plates which formed Krakatoa move?
The plates that formed Krakatoa, an island in Indonesia, were part of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates. These plates moved due to the process of plate tectonics, where the movement of the Earth's lithosphere causes the plates to collide, separate, or slide past each other, leading to volcanic activity such as the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.
What plates does Krakatoa lie on?

What is the study of the way move plates?
Plate Tectonics
What are the way plates move?
crust mantle core
Does the tectonic plates move about?
yes the plates can move slowly
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
Where do convergent plates move?
Convergent plates move toward one another
What directions do the plates move relative to one another at a divergent plate boundary?
they move away form each other, so what ever the direction the plates are the move the apposite direction away
Plates move apart because of?
plate tectonics, which is the movement of the Earth's lithosphere. This movement occurs due to the convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing plates to gradually shift and separate from each other. The process of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges is a common example of plates moving apart.
