What happens when the earth's plates move together?
a mountain forms.
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
Why do the tectonic plates move in the first place?
Tectonic plates move because of the heat and pressure from the Earth's core, causing convection currents in the mantle that push the plates apart or pull them together.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
How does earth plates move?
The Earth's plates move due to the high pressure of the hot earth's core jostling them around
What causes tectonic plates to move?
Tectonic plates move due to the heat and pressure from the Earth's mantle, causing convection currents that push the plates apart or pull them together. This movement is known as plate tectonics.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
What is it called when earths plates move together?
Tectonic convergence, or something like that.
How do the tectonic plates of the earth move?
no
What do you get when plates move together?
you get mountians
What are plates in the Earth's crust?
the tectonics plates will stick together.
How does the earth's plates move on top of the crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
