Are major crustal features like earthquakes volcanoes mountains and trenches found randomly on earths surface or is there a pattern?
Major crustal features are not randomly distributed on Earth's surface. They are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of the plates interacts to create geological features like earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and trenches. These features are a result of the dynamic processes associated with plate tectonics.
In science what are breaks between plates known as?
Breaks between plates are known as plate boundaries. These boundaries can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (coming together), or transform (sliding past each other). Plate boundaries are dynamic areas where tectonic activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, is common.
Earthquake foci can be used to mark the boundaries of what earth features?
Earthquake foci can be used to mark the earths plate boundaries . The movement along the plate boundary causes the earthquake. Knowing where the foci is can help predict future earthquakes in that scientists can monitor the area for shifts in the plates.
What percent of the Earths plate boundaries are transform faults?
Around 5% of Earth's plate boundaries are transform faults. These boundaries are where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. An example of a well-known transform fault boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
What change earth surface?
The Earth's surface is constantly changing due to natural processes such as erosion, weathering, tectonic plate movement, and volcanic activity. Human activities like deforestation, mining, and urbanization also contribute to changes in the Earth's surface. Monitoring and understanding these changes are important for managing resources and mitigating the impacts of natural disasters.

How common is uranium in the earths crust?
Crustal rocks: 2-3 ppm Sea water: cca. 3,3 ppb
What is Crustal Uplift?
it is concept of earths crust is gravitational balance or equilibrium.
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What is the main component on the earths surface?
Oxygen is the largest component of crustal rock.
What are the types of boundaries found along the edges of earths plates?
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and plate boundaries
How do convection currents affect atmosphere?
convection currents distribute the warm air from the equator towards the north and south pole; they also make the earths crust move causing the earth's crustal features change.
Large scale folding of the earths crust may be caused by what?
the collision of sub-crustal plates :)
What is the boundary between earths plates called?
Plate boundaries.
What is earths physical features?
it is landform
What is earths atmosphereic features?
it was fun
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
