What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
WHAT forces change earth's crust?
plate tectonics
What does understanding plate tectonics?
plate tectonics is the movement of the oceanic and the continental crust that is moving our continents further apart or more together.
How are these three layers identified the core the mantel and the crust?
by the plate tectonics
How old crust is recycled using the theory of plate tectonics?
Subduction
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
What form does the crust do?
plate tectonics.
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
What is denser plate?
it the oceanic crust
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
What does plate tectonics cause a change in?
The earth's crust
WHAT forces change earth's crust?
plate tectonics
Why is Density important to plate tectonics?
It plays a number of roles. First, the tectonic plates essentially float on the asthenosphere because they are less dense. Second, since oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it can subduct into the mantle while continental crust cannot. Plate tectonics is driven in part by mantle convection, which results from variations in density due to temperature differences.
What does understanding plate tectonics?
plate tectonics is the movement of the oceanic and the continental crust that is moving our continents further apart or more together.
What layer of Earth makes up plate tectonics?
The crust
What is the bending and tilting of Earth's crust called?
Plate Tectonics .
