Slow and constant.
Lithospheric plates.
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.
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.
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.
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
Techtonic plates
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Tectonic Plates.
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
there are 8 plates
20.
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
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)
