What is the layer upon which plate tectonics move?
The asthenosphere.
How do plate tectonics cause ocean basins?
the earth.
What layer of Earth makes up plate tectonics?
The crust
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation

They change its size and shape.

Which layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics?
The lithosphere layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics. This layer consists of the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle and is broken into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, creating the movement of plate tectonics.
What sea is expanding because of plate tectonics?
The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. Plate tectonics are driving the eastern New World and the western Old World farther apart.
How do plate tectonics explains mudslides tornadoes ocean currents and trenches?
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
What causes earthquakes volcanoes trenches mid-ocean ridge?
Plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics change climates by changing the ocean currents?
latitude of land
Why isn't the ocean floor a flat surface?
Plate Tectonics, to put it simply.
