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.
Explain two ways that the movement of earths plates changes the surface of earth?
The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes when plates collide, separate, or slide past each other. Additionally, the movement of plates can create volcanic activity along plate boundaries, leading to the formation of new landforms such as mountains or island chains.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What are slow changes on earths surface?
Examples of slow changes on Earth's surface include weathering of rocks over time, erosion of land by water and wind, and gradual movement of tectonic plates. These processes can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the Earth's surface.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.

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.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?

How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
