What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
What causes a crater on a volcano?
plate tectonics and plate boundries
Why do plate tectonics occur?
i do not think anyone knows in the whole world then...come really that's why they invented this site
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
the crust cracks and magma fills in the space
Are plate tectonics flat?

There are many indications of plate tectonics on Mars?
No plate tectonics on Mars
