Slow and constant.
What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What process causes earths plates to move?
The process of 'earth plates moving' is Alfred Wageners theory of continental drift. This theory proposes that convenction currents in the earths mantle provides a 'cushion' on which the plates can move.
Current in earths mantle that transfers heat in earths interior?
The main mechanism for heat transfer in Earth's mantle is through convection currents. These currents are driven by the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle, causing hot material to rise and cooler material to sink. This convective motion helps drive the motion of tectonic plates and is a key process in the Earth's heat budget.
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.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
How many earths plates are there?
20.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
Are the tectonic plates in the earths inner core?
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
How do earths plate tectonics move?
Earth's plates are constantly in motion because of convection currents in the mantle. How this energy translates to individual plates is still not understood. (see the related question)
