What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
Do all the tectonic plates move at the same rate?
No, tectonic plates move at different rates. Some plates move faster than others, while some plates move very slowly. The movement of the plates is driven by the underlying convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
Do oceanic plates move?
the ocean plates move because of the movement of the the tectonic plates beneath the ocean and do to the motion of the oceans currents.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
How do plates move where convection currents are sinking?
When convection currents sink near the mantle, they create drag on the lithospheric plates above. This drag causes the plates to move in the direction of the sinking current. As the plates move, they can interact with other plates, leading to processes like subduction or mountain formation.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
What are the plates that move and the lithosphere is made of them?
The plates that move are called tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of these plates, which consist of both the crust and the upper part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, causing them to move and interact with each other at plate boundaries.
When do plates move without forming new land?
when can plates move without forming new land
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.
What is the Soft layer of the mantle on which the plates move?
its because the plates
