Earths thin rocky outer layer is its .?
crust
Is the asthenosphere part of the earths crust?
No, the asthenosphere is not part of the Earth's crust. It is a layer within the upper mantle, located below the lithosphere. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid region that allows the lithospheric plates to move.
Earths crust is part of the?
Earth's crust is part of the Earth's outermost layer, along with the mantle and core. It is composed mainly of solid rock and is where most geological processes, like plate tectonics and volcanic activity, occur. The crust is thinner beneath the ocean than on land and is divided into several large tectonic plates that continuously move and interact with each other.
What are the large pieces of earths crust that move over the asthenosphere called?
The large pieces of Earth's crust that move over the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement of continents and the occurrence of geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
A break in the earths crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. It is a fracture where the two sides of the rock move in relation to each other. Faults are a common feature in tectonically active regions where there is movement of the Earth's plates.
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
In what ways do plates in the earths crust move?
they move in all sorts of ways like the bottom and the top lol :}
Do some part of the earths crust move up 12 cm per year?
no
What is erupted from a volcano?
Well usually its always lava or magma from te earths crust.
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
How do earthqukes form?
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
