What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
Crack in earths crust?
A crack in the earth's crust is known as a fault. Faults form when tectonic plates shift and release stress, causing the rock to break and create fractures. These fractures can vary in size and can lead to earthquakes if there is sudden movement along the fault line.
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
What role does mantle convection play in plate motion?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How do earthquakes build up?
The shifting of the Earths Techtonic Plates is what causes earthquakes. The earths crust is floating on top of a layer of magma. When two of earths techtonic plates shift and rub up against eachother, they get caught, because they are rigid, not smooth. When they finally get uncaught, they move very fast and that is what causes the shaking, as does the rubbing up against eachother.
What is the shift in the wind direction that causes the earths rotation?
Coriolis effect
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
What force causes the earth's water to shift and create tides?
Primarily, the effects of gravity between the earth and the moon.
What force can rapidly change the earths landscape?
Natural forces such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and extreme weather events like hurricanes and floods can rapidly change the Earth's landscape. Volcanic eruptions can create new landforms and alter existing ones, while earthquakes can shift land and create fissures. Additionally, erosion caused by heavy rainfall or flooding can reshape riverbanks and coastal areas quickly. Collectively, these forces can dramatically transform the Earth's surface in a short period.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
Why did Virginia quake happened?
because there was a shift in the earths plates
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.

What to press to create a line break?
Shift + Enter
Does the earths pull make earthquakes?
No, it it is when two plates come together in a sudden shift.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earths rotation is called the?
Coriolis effect
How did William Shakespeare create a paradigm shift in people thinking?
I am not sure that Shakespeare did create a paradigm shift. His good plays create a perception shift for his audience, but I am not sure that his entire body of work did so for the world at large.
