What is it called when plates slowly ram into each other and form bended rock layers?
Compression.
What earth plates spread apart slowly?
Divergent plates are tectonic earth plates that spread slowly apart.
Does the tectonic plates move about?
yes the plates can move slowly
Is earth's surface all one piece?
The earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates, which slowly move around.
Why are the plates of the crust always moving?
Because the mantle has convection currents that push the plates around very slowly.

Do lithospheric plates move quickly or slowly?
The plates move slowly. Three centimeters a year.
What is the idea of giant plates of rock moving slowly across earths surface called?
rocks
How did Pangea form?
Pangaea formed approximately 300 million years ago when all the Earth's landmasses were joined together as a single supercontinent. The movement of tectonic plates caused the continents to drift apart over millions of years, eventually resulting in the current layout of continents.

yes the plates can move slowly
What is the pieces of lithosphere move slowly over this soft layer of the mantle?
Those are called TECTONIC PLATES.
Is earth's surface all one piece?
The earth's crust is broken into sections called tectonic plates, which slowly move around.
What does plate boundary mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
