What do continental drift and seafloor spreading have in common?
they both have to do with moving
What is the activity of the earth's moving plates called?
It is known as the continental drift.
What is the theory of the continents slowing moving each year?
Continental Drift.
Continents are moving across the Earths Surface under continental drift One continent is moving significantly more slowly than the others Which one is it?
Continents are moving across the Earth's Surface under the Continental drift One continent is moving significantly more slowly than the others because of plate tectonics.
What evidence convinced many geologists that the continents were slowly moving?
the Continental drift....
What are plates moving toward each other?
Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
Do the continental plates remain in one place?
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
What is a subduction zon as it relates to earth science?
A subduction zone is a place at the margin of a continent where the neighbouring oceanic plate is 'subducted'. That is, the oceanic plate, moving toward the continental plate, goes down into the mantle because it is heavier than the continental plate. Subduction zones typically cause deep ocean trenches.
Where is there a continental continental boundary on earth?
The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau are formed by a continental-continental boundary where the Indian continental plate is moving north against the Eurasian continental plate.
How are continental tropical and continental polar air masses alike?
because the air is moving
What is the slowest moving glacier?
Continental Glaciers
What 2 words mean continents moving?
Continental drift
What do continental drift and seafloor spreading have in common?
they both have to do with moving
What does the pulling a part of continental plates create?
The moving of Continents.
Is it We're moving or We are moving?
Both are correct. We are moving is a little bit more formal then we're moving.
What is the activity of the earth's moving plates called?
It is known as the continental drift.
