Why does plate tectonics take place?
because of the plates moving
Is changes in the earth's surface due to moving water is a rapid or slow process?
Slow. Erosion caused by water is a slow process, and usually takes hundreds of years. The Grand Canyon!
Define plate tectonics?
a theory explaining how the pieces of Earth's surface (the plates) move
The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
How did continental drift happen?
Continental Drift happened, when the tectonic plates in the earth shifted, and pushed the lithosphere up, causing our continents to split.
What is the result of a force moving an object through a distance called?
The result of a force moving an object through a distance is called work. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
Are the plate tectonics constantly moving and when they do does it always cause an earthquake?

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.
What names do we give to the earth's moving plates?
Tectonics .
Why did the frontier keep moving west?
plate tectonics
What direction is our continents moving in today?
The continents are moving in various directions due to plate tectonics. For example, North America is moving westward, while Europe is moving eastward. Overall, the movement of continents is a complex process that involves interactions between the different tectonic plates.

because of the plates moving
How are the plate tectonics causing your earth to change?
they are always moving
Are plate tectonics moving a type of seismic activity?
YES.
The theory that the continents and sections of the lithosphere are moving?

In which process of water moving down through the soil called?
The process of water moving down through the soil is called infiltration. It refers to the movement of water from the ground surface into the soil.
Samilarties and differences between volvano and plate tectonics?
Volcanos are mountains in which lava comes out and plate tectonics is the theory of plates moving.
