What evidence reasoning to geologist use to support the idea that plates are moving?
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What are 2 of the 3 reasons that scientists believe the plates are moving?
Scientists believe that the plates are moving due to the evidence of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges and the distribution of earthquakes along plate boundaries. Additionally, the study of paleomagnetism provides further support for the theory of plate tectonics.
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
A rift valley is evidence of which plate boundary?
A rift valley is evidence of a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates a gap in the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of a rift valley.
What does moving of techtonic plates cause?
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Where in the US is there evidence that plates are moving with respect to each other?
In california by san Fransisco
What evidence is there to prove that continents are still moving and colliding?
The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
What is the evidence for the existence of crustal plates?
Worldwide, the mountains are the evidence of crustal plates.
When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What evidence reasoning to geologist use to support the idea that plates are moving?
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What is another word for tectonic plates?
moving plates
What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
Do the continental plates remain in one place?
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
Volcanos form a ring of fire around the plate boundaries in the pacific ocean how might this provide evidence that the plates are moving?
Volcanoes are ofrenda found in subduction
What are two plates moving away known as?
Divergent plates
What are 2 of the 3 reasons that scientists believe the plates are moving?
Scientists believe that the plates are moving due to the evidence of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges and the distribution of earthquakes along plate boundaries. Additionally, the study of paleomagnetism provides further support for the theory of plate tectonics.
