What else can I help you with?
When two plates slip pass each other is called?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.
What is the process called that causes the tectonic plates to move?
The process is called plate tectonics. It involves the movement of Earth's lithosphere in separate pieces called tectonic plates, driven by forces such as mantle convection. These plates interact at plate boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes and mountain formation.
What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
What is the movement called when the seafloor divided where the two plates moved from each other?
The movement you are referring to is called seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where two tectonic plates move apart from each other, causing magma to rise and solidify, creating new oceanic crust.
What is the area called where two tectonic plates meet?
the answer is a rift zone
What is it called when we feel the movement of the Earth's plates?
earthquake
What is the movement of plates near the Mantle called?
i dont know :D
The movement of plates to form land masses is called?
The answer is true plate tectionics
What is the movement and interactions of plates called?
It's generally referred to as plate tectonics.
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
When rocks bend without breaking because of plates movement it is called?
It is called folding when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement.
What is the heat transfer called of lithospheric plates?
The heat transfer in lithospheric plates is called conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat through the solid material of the plates due to the movement of vibrating particles.
How does the movement of tectonic plates?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

What are the pieces of lithosphere called?
The pieces of lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath and are responsible for the movement and interactions that shape the Earth's surface through processes like plate tectonics.
