What else can I help you with?
Can plates ever move ever without forming new land?
YES!
How does earthquakes change the surface of the earth?
I am not 100% sure but it may be that the plates may move forming a new mountain or land mass
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
How do tectonic plates affect the earth?
If plates move enough continents will lose more land under the water and people will have to move
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
How do the divided plates in the earth's upper mantle move?
Tectonic Plates are floating on the semi-molten Mantle. Currents in the molten layer, eruptions of new lava round the edges, and the forming of deep ocean volcanic ridges, help to move the plates across the Earth's surface.
How far do the plates move across the surface of the earth?
The plates move at a rate of a few centimeters to a few inches per year, which is about the same rate at which fingernails grow. This movement is driven by the process of mantle convection beneath the plates.
What is the role of the asthenosphere in the movement of the plates?
The asthenoshere acts like jello and allows the lithosphere, containing the plate, to move. Tectonic plates could not move without the asthenoshere.
When plate boundaries spread under continents the land stretches and eventually breaks This results in the forming of a?
A mountain chain
What is the Role of asthenosphere in the movement of tectonic plates?
The asthenoshere acts like jello and allows the lithosphere, containing the plate, to move. Tectonic plates could not move without the asthenoshere.
What is the Plate under the ocean?
Techtonic plates move under the earth moving land and water.
