What else can I help you with?
Which two processes do scientists think move the earths lithospheric plates?
bruh
The lithosphere is broken into pieces called what?
what causes the earths tectonic plates to move
IS the speed of the earth plates very slow?
the speed of the earths plates are very slow, and sometimes they don't move at all. if the earths plates were constantly moving (allot) then we would not be able to build cities because of constant earthquakes.
How does knowing about the earths interior help us understand plate tectonics?
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
It is the mantle that is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which drive the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What might happen to rocks when earths plates move?
Can someone answer this
What might happen to rocks when the earths plates move?
Can someone answer this
What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
What causes earths plates to move continuously?
Convection in the earth's mantle.
Do earths plates move fast?
2.5 centimeters per year
Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
