What else can I help you with?
Did the upper mantle or core of earths surface drive the plate tectonics?
The mantle, being of a silly-putty-like consistancy, is responsible for the movement of the plates on earth's crust, or plate tectonics.
Does plate tectonics occur on venus?
No. Plate tectonics are not possible on Venus because the crust is too thick and the upper mantle is not softened by water.
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
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 are the asthenosphere and lithosphere involed with plate tectonics?
The lithosphere is the brittle surface layer composed of the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is the ductile upper mantle on which the lithosphere is able to move.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
Are plate tectonics caused by convection currents in the mantle?
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
What movements of the earth's crust and mantle are referred to as?
Plate tectonics.
Did the upper mantle or core of earths surface drive the plate tectonics?
The mantle, being of a silly-putty-like consistancy, is responsible for the movement of the plates on earth's crust, or plate tectonics.
Are convection currents related to plate tectonics?
A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.
Does plate tectonics occur on venus?
No. Plate tectonics are not possible on Venus because the crust is too thick and the upper mantle is not softened by water.
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
What is the part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core?
Plate tectonics
Where is the asthenosphere and what does it do?
The asthenosphere is a section of the upper mantle that enables plate tectonics.
