Is the surface of earth in constant motion because of forces on the planet's surface?

The individual plates are in motion, but i don't think that's what you're asking. The whole earth is constantly revolving on it's axis. The earth's crust is traveling at about 800mph! So answering your question, no, the surface itself doesn't move (unless you're talking about the individual plates.)

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 The surface of the 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.

Why do planets continue to move?
Great question ... because the answer is so important to understand.Our common experience in daily life is: A moving object, with no forces acting on it, stops.The fact is: A moving object, with no forces acting on it, keeps going,with constant speed and in the same direction.The answer to the question is:The planets continue to move (and spin) because there is no forceacting on them to cause them to stop moving (or spinning).
Is this sentence correct The surface of Earth is in constant motion because of forces on the planet's surface?
No one answer this, please. It is from their homework, I assigned it to my own class last year. Person who did this: It is very wrong to cheat. You should try and complete your homework independently or with a text book. If you have questions, ask your teacher! That's the only way you will learn it! :) Actually, the sentence is wrong. The correct sentence is: The surface of Earth is in constant motion because of forces inside the planet. :D
What do baoanced forces do to moving objects?
When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.
How do geothermal forces manifest?
because of the earths surface
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.
If two forces cancel they are?
stationary or moving at constant speed because the acceleration is 0.
What are the forces between two planets?
center forces and gravitational forces
Why does the planets orbit the sun?
Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)
