What else can I help you with?
How might geologic events such as the movement of tectonic plates affect the environment where species live?
Movement of tectonic plates can cause seafloor spreading and reversal of Earth's magnetic field, which can affect the organisms that are not adapted to the geological enviroment.
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
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.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of the earths lithospheric plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
Where has diversion tectonic plate movement affected the world?
plates tonics
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake
What type of current is responsible for the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Nothing its all fake
What do the yellow arrows in this illustration represent in the earths core?
movement of earth's tectonic plates
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
