What else can I help you with?
Where do you call the lithosperic plates slides back into the earth?
Subduction
Do continental plates move constantly?
Yes, they move slowly but constantly. Faster during earthquakes.
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is true about the lithospere plates?
they constantly move
Which event cannot explained b the movement of the lithosperic plates?
tornadoes
Plasticlike layer of Earth on which the lithosperic plates float and move around?
The plasticlike layer of Earth is the asthenosphere. It is a zone of the upper mantle where rock is soft and capable of gradual flow. The lithospheric plates float and move on top of the asthenosphere, contributing to the movement of tectonic plates.
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
How are lithospheric plates like shopping carts?
lithosperic plates are like shopping carts because because it shows the movement of the plates and there are small wiggles between each cart
Lithosphere plates move slow or fast?
Lithosphere plates move at a slow speed, typically ranging from a few centimeters to a few inches per year. This movement is driven by the slow convection currents in the mantle beneath the lithosphere. However, over long periods of time, this slow movement can result in significant changes to Earth's surface.
How often do lithospheric plates move?
Lithospheric plates move constantly at a very slow rate, typically around a few centimeters per year. This movement is driven by the slow convection currents in the Earth's mantle, causing the plates to either diverge, converge, or slide past each other at plate boundaries.
How do earths plate tectonics move?
Earth's plates are constantly in motion because of convection currents in the mantle. How this energy translates to individual plates is still not understood. (see the related question)
Does the tectonic plates move about?
Yes, tectonic plates constantly move around on the Earth's surface. This movement is driven by the flow of the underlying mantle and results in various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
