The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Suppose you are studying the motion of one of earths plates what units would you probably use to describe its speed?
Centimeters are the proper measuring unit to describe the movement of Earth's plates known as continental drift. The tectonic plates move on average of 2.5 centimeters per year.
What theory describes the motion of the force driving the Earth's plates?
plate tectonics
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
What do scientists call the theory that describe the motion of the plates?
The theory of plate tectonics describes how plates move. The main driving force is convection currents in the mantle.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What do scientists called the theory that describes the motion of the plates?
Plate Tectonics
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What term describes areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
What term describes specific areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
Which describes the convection currents that drive the motion of lithospheric plates?
A continuous flow in the mantle caused by differences in density
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
