None. The Earth remains the same size because it does not lose or add material (except for meteorites, which are negligable.

Tectonic forces move the -parts- of the Earth around, moving the water out of the way as needed, but nothing is added to or taken from the Earth's size.

How does the ocean floor keep getting wider but the earth stays the same size?

Because the Earth's tectonic plates are constantly moving


The forces acting on the Earth today are the same forces that shaped the Earth throughout its history?

This is the geologic principle of uniformitarianism.


Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?

The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.


Is Earth's crust and tectonic plate the same?

I really don't think so...


Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?

No, the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface are primarily related to heat and pressure from the Earth's internal processes, such as tectonic activity. On or near the Earth's surface, factors like weathering, erosion, and deposition play a more significant role in shaping the rock cycle. Both sets of forces work together to continuously transform rocks on Earth.


How do you presence of active volcanoes and mountain range?

Active volcanoes can often indicate the presence of a mountain range due to the geologic processes that create both features. Volcanoes are formed where tectonic plates meet and the mountain ranges can be the result of these same tectonic forces pushing the Earth's crust upward. The presence of active volcanoes in a mountain range suggests ongoing tectonic activity in the area.


What causes the moon to always keep the same face toward Earth?

The phenomenon of the moon always keeping the same face toward Earth is due to its synchronous rotation, which means that its rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth. This is caused by gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon, which have resulted in the moon's rotation becoming synchronized with its orbit.


When forces are not balanced an object keep moving forever?

As long as the forces remain the same or do not change direction


What forces causes the synchronous rotation keeps the same side of the Moon facing the Earth?

Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.


What did geologists of the 1700's conclude about earth's landforms?

They concluded simply about earths landforms. Constructive forces are forces that build up landforms, like the tectonic plates making mountains. Deconstructive forces are forces that wear down landforms, like a river or a glacier carving a valley out of the hillside.


Compare and contrast the ways external and internal forces produce surface landforms?

External forces, such as weathering and erosion, shape surface landforms through the gradual breakdown and transportation of rocks and soil. Internal forces, like tectonic activity, produce landforms by causing uplift, folding, faulting, and volcanic eruptions that change the earth's crust. Both external and internal forces work together to create and modify the Earth's surface features over time.


Is earthquakes a result when forces push tectonic plates along faults in earth's lithosphere true or false?

True. Earthquakes occur when there is a release of energy along faults in the Earth's lithosphere due to the movement of tectonic plates. The stress and pressure build up along these fault lines until it is released as seismic waves, causing an earthquake.
