the earth's crust is made up of 7 rigid,irregularly shaped plates(slabs). these are called lithospheric plates. these plates move because of the molten magma under the earth's crust which move in a circular motion that's why the earth's crust moves and earthquakes occurs
What else can I help you with?
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How the thin outer crust is floating on the thick liquid mantle causing the crust to move and form a divergent plate boundary?
how the thin outer crust is floating on the thick liquid mantle, causing the crust to move and form a divergent plate boundary
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
Does the crust of the earth move?
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
A place where pieces of earth's crust move is the?
Lithosphere.
What are the way plates move?
crust mantle core
What 3 things increase when you move from the crust to the inner core?
Temperature, pressure, and density increase as you move from the Earth's crust to the inner core.
How does the convection currents cause te crust of the Earth to move?
Because the convection currents involve the Earth's crust.
Why is the Earth's crust in constant in motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
Is the Earth's crust is in motion?
Convection currents of heat underneath the earth's crust in the mantle (magma) cause the tectonic plates of the earth's crust to move.
