What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
plate tectonics
What is the most important for maintaining a stable climate on Earth over the time it took for large organisms to evolve?
plate tectonics
Which planet has plate tectonics?
Earth.
What is the difference between earth tectonics and martian tectonics?
Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.
WHAT forces change earth's crust?

Plate tectonics and Liquid water oceans
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?

Why is it important for scientists to know the speed of plate tectonics?
It is important so that they can possibly predict future earth movements as to when and where it will happen. Ex: earthquakes
