What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
Earth plates do not collide while revolving around sun?
earth plates can and do collide, even though the earth rotates around the sun
Do plates include the lithosphere under the oceans?
Yes. The surface of earth covered by the oceans are part of the plates of the earth.
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
What other ocean floor feature is formed by movement of Earth's plates?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
The tectonic plates float on what layer of earth?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
What is the process by which hot material from deep within the earth rises while cooler material by the surface sinks?
this is due to tectonic plates that means movement of plates
What is the process which hot material from deep within the earth rises while cooler material near the surface sinks?
this is due to tectonic plates that means movement of plates
What is one suggested cause of deep focus earthquakes?
Stress due to the subduction of tectonic plates into Earth's mantle.
How do the divided plates in the earth's upper mantle move?
Tectonic Plates are floating on the semi-molten Mantle. Currents in the molten layer, eruptions of new lava round the edges, and the forming of deep ocean volcanic ridges, help to move the plates across the Earth's surface.
What is a continental slide?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
How do you make a sentence with the word fissure?
The scientist discovered a deep fissure in the earth's surface, evidence of the tectonic plates shifting below.
What is formed when the plates move apart at some boundaries and collide at others?
At collision, mountains, at separation, long deep holes into the earth.
What is The shifting and breaking of the surface rocks when two plates slide past each other deep inside the earth called?
an earthquake
