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.
Earthquake activity can be caused by what movement of plates?
Earthquake activity is primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. When these plates grind against each other, tension builds up until it is released in the form of an earthquake.
What causes the movement of plates?
The movement of tectonic plates is primarily caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which cause the plates to slowly move and interact with each other. This movement leads to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Is an earthquake an example of human-environment interactions?
No, earthquakes are caused by the movement of the different plates of the earth. When one of the plates slips under the other, over the other, or into each other it creates an earthquake.
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of the plates by convection cells in which layers?
The theory of plate tectonics explains the movement of plates by convection cells in the Earth's mantle. These convection cells are caused by the heat from the Earth's core, which creates movement in the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer of the mantle, leading to the movement of the rigid lithospheric plates above it.
Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
Why do passive margins have no trenches?
Trenches are caused by plate movement.
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is caused by mass?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What caused the 1952 Kamchatka earthquake?

What is a type of movement caused by earthquakes?
when the plates pull of from each other.
What are some of the features of the earth that are caused by plates movement?

What is mass movement cause by?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What caused the 1952 Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake?
the movement of the two tectonic plates
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
