The asthenosphere lies below the lithosphere and the oceanic crust. If oceanic-continental convergence was to cease (unlikely as to the enormous momentum involved) subduction would presumable lessen and, as the momentum of one plate against another stopped moving, an equilibrium state would presumably exist.
What else can I help you with?
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
How did the 1970 tonghai earthquake happen?
The tectonic plates were moving.
What layer moves underneath the techtonic plates?
The aesthenosphere, which is located in the top part of the Earth's mantle is the layer lying underneath the tectonic plates. Collective movement in these plates cause a gradual rise in the aesthenosphere, thereby resulting to land elevation.
Why did earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
Where do divergent plate boundaries happen on earth?
Divergent plates are found in places where the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
What happened happen to the contenental plates between 750 and 260 millions years ago?
The continental plates were moving at that time and separated apart
What would happen to the earths plates if the mantle completely cooled down?
They'd stop moving.
What are plates that make earthquakes happen called?
The plates that cause earthquakes are called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving, which can create stress along their boundaries. When this stress is released suddenly, it can result in an earthquake.
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
Where does earthquake occurs?
They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen
