What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes start at all?
That heat from the earth's mantle causes the tectonic or lithospheric plates of the earth's crust to move away or toward each other is the reason why earthquakes start.
A technique that directs sound waves toward the ocean floor to map its depth is called?
That technique is called sonar.
Why is a rainbow round?
A rainbow is round because the process is based on angles. Light from the sun hits the little water droplets after a rain. The water droplets act like little prisms. Different colors are sent out at different angles. The sun must be behind you. Imagine a narrow triangle. The narrow angle is at the water drop. One side points toward the sun. One side points toward your eye. The drops for which this device works form a circle. The center of this circle lines up with you and the sun. If the Earth were not in the way, a rainbow would be a complete circle.
What are vessels that move blood toward the heart called?
i think its the pulmonary vein, aorta, and main artery
The rhythmic contractions of the esophagus are called what?
Peristalsis is the term for the rhythmic contractions of the esophagus. These wavelike contractions move food toward the stomach.
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends toward the mantle is called what?
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called an ocean trench. This is caused by two plates pulling apart.
What is the long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle called?
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called an ocean trench. This is caused by two plates pulling apart.
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called?
That is a description of a trench, which is formed at tectonic plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another through a process called subduction. Trenches are among the deepest parts of the ocean floor.
What is the channel called that magma uses to travel toward the vent in a volcano?
The channel that magma uses to travel toward the vent in a volcano is called a "conduit." It is a narrow passage within the volcano that allows molten rock to move from the magma chamber to the surface during an eruption.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Where does magma form before it moves toward the earths surface?
in the mantle above the slab
What does it mean when sound waves are reflected of canyon walls?
It means that the sound wave goes toward the canyon wall, and then a wave carrying part of the energy comes back from the canyon wall. The remaining energy will be absorbed or will pass through.
SUbduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(an)?
deep ocean trench.
What is it called when your kidneys begin to move toward?
toward what?
Who is the President that worked to preserve the Grand Canyon?
It was Theodore Roosevelt who first made an effort toward making it a National Park.
Is a kings rock in a pokeball on Pokemon LeafGreen?
Yes it is. It is found on Seven Island toward the end of sevalt canyon by the rocks.
What is the movement of Earth materials through the mantle and toward the crust due to heat transfer an example of?
This movement is an example of convection. As the mantle is heated from below, warmer, less dense material rises toward the crust, while cooler, denser material sinks back down. This convection process drives plate tectonics and influences the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
