It is because of the convection currents that occurs in the mantle. The heat in the mantle circulates (we know that hot air goes up and cold air goes down) so the plates in the Earth moves. The convection currents are caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle. The heat causes the land to rise while cooling results the land to sink.
What else can I help you with?
What layer of the earth drives the tectonic plates into motion?
All layers of the Earth are moving, in some fashion.
How fault is formed?
The surface of earth is in constant motion because of forces inside the planet. These forces cause sections of earth's surface, called plates, to move.
What is the mistake in this sentence The surface of Earth is in constant motion because of forces on the planet's surface?
THE FORCES MOVING EARTH'S SURFACE ARE UNDERNEATH EARTH'S SURFACE, IN THE UPPER MANTLE. FWI, these forces are actually huge convection currents in the magma buried under Earth's crust.
A satellite is projectile that falls ot of earth rather than into earth?
Satellites are in constant free-fall. This simply means they are constantly being accelerated by earth's gravity. However, an orbiting satellite's lateral motion is sufficient that the acceleration caused by the earth's gravity causes it to continually circle the earth, instead of crashing to the ground.
Which of the layers is found directly above the earth?
mantle
What is the motion of Earth's like?
Slow and constant.
How can you use constant motion in a sentence?
Even though we aren't always conscious of it, the earth, moon and the sun are in constant motion.
What things are in constant motion?
Things such as molecules, atoms, planets, stars, and light are in constant motion. Additionally, particles in the atmosphere, ocean currents, and even the Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion.
Are in constant motion and change the form of the earth's crust?
tectonic plates.
Why don't we feel the earth moving and rotating despite its constant motion?
We don't feel the Earth moving and rotating because its motion is constant and we are moving along with it at the same speed. Our bodies have adapted to this motion over time, so we don't perceive it as movement.
What layer of the earth drives the tectonic plates into motion?
All layers of the Earth are moving, in some fashion.
Why are the plates of the lithosphere in constant slow motion?
The plates of the lithosphere are in constant slow motion due to convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes magma to rise, cool, and sink, creating a circular motion that moves the plates. This process is known as plate tectonics.
What keeps the air in constant motion?
The Earth's rotation and uneven heating of the atmosphere by the Sun create differences in air pressure and temperature, which in turn drive air circulation and create wind patterns. This constant motion of air helps distribute heat and moisture around the Earth, maintaining global climate and weather systems.
What are in constant motion and change the forms of the earth crusts?
tectonic plates
As earth orbits the sun it is moving about?
Yes. The Earth, our Sun and indeed all planets, stars and galaxies are in constant motion.
Is all matter in constant motion on earth?
Yes, according to the kinetic theory of matter, all matter is made up of particles that are in constant motion. This motion can be at different speeds and directions depending on factors like temperature and pressure.
Why we cannot perceive the motion of earth around sun?
All the objects on the earth including the atmosphere are in motion along with the earth. So, it is not possible to perceive the motion of the earth staying on the earth.
