That theory relates to Plate Tectonics.
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.
The earths surface is broken into large pieces what are they called?
Tectonic Plates
The activity of the earths moving plates is called?
tectonics
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What is a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface?
Lithospheric plates are a number of rigid but moving pieces of earths surface.
What is an earthqauake?
the moving of the plates under the earths surface
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Movement of the crustal plate?
When the crustal plate moves it vibrates the earths crust and its plates. When the crust and plates are forced to move it can result in volcanic action.
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
What is the idea of giant plates of rock moving slowly across earths surface called?
rocks
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
