What moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
What moves a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The crust moves on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
What moves Earth's tetonic plates?
the upper mantle
What part of earth moves around a special layer of the mantle?
The answer is Lithosphere!!!
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
When volcanic island chain are formed what moves?
When a volcanic island chain is formed, the tectonic plate moves over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. The hotspot remains stationary while the plate moves, resulting in a series of volcanic islands forming in a line as the plate moves over the hotspot.
What drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
What sections moves on a plasticlike layer of the mantle?
The lithosphere, which includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle, moves on a plastic-like layer of the mantle called the asthenosphere. This layer is partially molten and allows the lithospheric plates to move slowly over time due to convection currents.
What is the liquid rock in the mantle called?
The liquid rock in the mantle is called magma. As it moves closer to the surface, it is then called lava when it erupts from a volcano.
Do deep focus earthquakes occur as a plate moves deeper into the mantle?
yes they do
What is the word that goes with this definition the crust and the outermost layer of the mantle that moves are?
the lithosphere.
What is the force that moves a cool dense plate deep into the mantle?
ridge push
