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 process of a force acting through a distance is called "work". It doesn't have to involve moving an object. Like for example, stretching a rubber band is work.
Are the plate tectonics constantly moving and when they do does it always cause an earthquake?
Plate tectonics are always moving! they usually do have something to do with earthquakes!
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 does moving an object through a distance transfer?
force and energy
The activity of the earths moving plates is called?
tectonics
What names do we give to the earth's moving plates?
Tectonics .
Why did the frontier keep moving west?
plate tectonics
Why does plate tectonics take place?
because of the plates moving
How are the plate tectonics causing your earth to change?
they are always moving
The theory that the continents and sections of the lithosphere are moving?
plate tectonics.
Are plate tectonics moving a type of seismic activity?
YES.
What process moves water down through soil?
Infiltration is the process of water moving vertically down through the soil.
