The study of internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?

The study of internal processes that result in crustal movements is called diastrophism. It is considered part of the field of geotectonics.


What is the study of internal processes that result in crustal movement?

Plate tectonics.


Do normal faults result in crustal shortening?

Normal faults thin and extend the earth's crust. Reverse faults cause crustal shortening and thickening.

What crustal feature is a result of divergent plate movement?

Mid-ocean ridge


What will happen if convection in the mantle increased?

There is no reason to think that convection in the Earth's mantle is going to increase; indeed, I expect it to decrease over time. However, if it were to increase, the result would be an increasing number and severity of earthquakes, and faster continental drift.


What forms to a mantle plume?

Mantle plumes result in the formation of hot spots.


What is a result of crustal subsidence?

Where the crust erodes on the sides by layers and almost gets down to the pit


What is the result when plates Collide?

The movement of crustal plates is driven by heating from within the mantle, as the separate plates sit atop the fluid asthenosphere. The difference in rock motion means that plates can be pushed into, over, and under each other.


How the movement of tectonic plates result in the formation of crustal features?

Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.


What does most Most magma form from?

Magma is the result of partial melting of crustal rocks. It is a eutectic melt product.


Which development was a result of increased urbanization during the Industrial Revolution?
