What is caused by the movement of the plates?

The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.


The movement of these can reshape the earth?

The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.

How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?

The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.


How do plates push together?

Plates push together at convergent plate boundaries due to the movement of the underlying molten mantle material called convection currents. This movement causes plates to collide, leading to subduction where one plate is forced beneath another, or crustal compression where plates are pushed together. This process can result in the formation of mountain ranges or deep ocean trenches.


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.
