What do scientist use to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?
Scientists use a network of satellites called the global positioning system to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement
What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What is Titanic plate movement?
its actually tectonic plates

What unit of measure is used to measure tectonic plate movement?
centimeters

What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
How scientists use GPS to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?
Radio signals are continuously beamed from satellites to GPS ground stations, which record the exact distance between the satellites and the ground station. Over time, these distances change slightly. By recording the time it takes for the GPS ground stations to move a given distance, scientist can measure the speed at which each tectonic plate move

What is the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate?
north-northwest
How did the Brazilian highlands form?
Tectonic plate movement.
How do scientists measure tectonic plate movement?
I was confused about this too, I'm not quite sure but I think they measure the movement with GPS, they move about a centimeter per year. But the some people say that the motion is different and that you use a Seismometer, the same thing used to measure earthquakes.
