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.
Ost geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Most geologists believe that the movement of the Earth's plates is caused by the process of convection currents in the mantle. These currents are driven by the heat generated from the core of the Earth, which causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in circular patterns, leading to the movement of the tectonic plates.
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.
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
If Earths plates and continents are constantly moving what effect does this have on Earths oceans?
The movement of Earth's plates and continents can cause changes in sea level, ocean currents, and the distribution of marine life. It can also affect the shape of ocean basins and the location of coastlines.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
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?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of the earths lithospheric plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
What do the yellow arrows in this illustration represent in the earths core?
movement of earth's tectonic plates
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake
What type of current is responsible for the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Nothing its all fake
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.
How much of earths suface is covered in water?
Mostly 75 percent
