What is true about the lithospheric plates?
They are constantly in motion.
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
Which describes the convection currents that drive the motion of lithospheric plates?
A continuous flow in the mantle caused by differences in density
What is the name of the kind of motion that causes an earthquake?
Movements of tectonic plates against each other usually causing a jarring motion which causes an earthquake.
What are three hypotheses about the causes of plate motion?
if you really wanted the answer you wouldnt ask me for it!

What are sizes shapes and positions of the continents changed by?
lithospheric plate motion.

Describe how the presence of faults and folds supports the idea that lithospheric plates are in motion?
Faults and folds just support the idea that there lithospheric plates are in motion because folds appear when the plates move towards each other. The faults appear when the plates drift apart and cause an empty space.
What causes motion of an object?
Applied force to an object causes motion.
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What is Difference between kinematic and dynamic quantity?
Kinematic is the branch of physicis that deal with the description of motion but Dynamics is the branch of physicis that deal with the causes of motion.
What causes the mnotion of objects?
what causes the motion of objects
What is an action that can causes motion?
Inertia is an action that can cause motion.
What has the author James D Hays written?
James D. Hays has written: 'Lithospheric plate motion, sea level changes and climatic and ecological consequences'
What are the causes of traveling?
motion
