The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
To further prove that Earth's surface has moved and is moving, I would like to have evidence such as GPS data showing crustal motion, analysis of seismic activity along fault lines, and examination of changes in land formations over time. I would also like to have questions answered regarding the mechanisms driving tectonic plate movement, the history of past movement events, and the potential implications for future geological events. Understanding these aspects can provide a more comprehensive picture of the dynamic nature of Earth's surface.
Glacial striations are grooves or scratches on a rock surface caused by the movement of a glacier. As a glacier moves across the bedrock, rocks and debris embedded in the ice scratch the underlying rock, leaving behind parallel lines that indicate the direction of glacial flow. Glacial striations are important geological features that provide evidence of past glaciation events and help scientists understand the movement of glaciers.
A crustal shift in the ocean floor can trigger underwater disturbances like tsunamis or underwater landslides, which can cause significant damage to coastal wildlife habitats on land. These events can lead to flooding, destruction of habitats, and displacement of plant and animal species, impacting the overall ecosystem health.
Rapid mass movement refers to the sudden, fast-paced movement of a large volume of material down a slope or incline. This can include events such as landslides, rockfalls, and debris flows, and is typically triggered by gravity, weather events, or human activity. Rapid mass movements can be hazardous and cause significant damage to the environment and infrastructure.
Crustal disturbances on the Moon are often referred to as "lunar tectonics." These disturbances are caused by a combination of factors such as impact events, volcanic activity, and the Moon's cooling and contracting interior. They result in features like fault lines, rift valleys, and mountain ranges on the lunar surface.
Crustal plates can impact the environment through natural events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which can lead to changes in landforms, biodiversity, and air quality. The movement of crustal plates can also affect climate patterns and the distribution of resources like water and minerals. Additionally, plate tectonics play a role in shaping the geography of the Earth, influencing factors such as mountain formation and ocean basin development.
earthquakes and tsunamis
The mau movement is lead to the progressive movement!
Yes, the heat from the Earth's inner core and the movement of tectonic plates can produce seismic waves. Seismic waves are generated by the release of energy during the movement of Earth's crustal plates, such as during earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or other geological events. The waves can travel through the Earth, carrying valuable information about the Earth's interior.
Exposition
Mountains,volcanoes,trenches,earthquakes,faults,mid-ocean ridges ,rift valleys, widened ocean basins, and deep sea vents are all examples of geological features and events formed by plate movement. Hope this helped!

Sunspots and other natural solar events.
there was plate tectonic movement
Antislavery movement, nat turner, Frederick douglass, William garrison
What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
