What else can I help you with?
Is it true that earthquake zones coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates?
Yes, earthquake zones often coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates because this is where tectonic plate boundaries interact. The movement and interaction of these plates can cause stress to build up and be released in the form of earthquakes.
What is the study of lithospheric plates called?
The study of lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics. It focuses on the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which form the outer shell of the Earth. Plate tectonics help explain processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes.?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, magma from the mantle can rise to the surface, creating new crust and forming volcanic eruptions. When plates collide, one plate may be forced beneath the other, leading to the melting of crust and the formation of volcanic arcs. This movement and interaction of plates are responsible for the distribution of volcanoes around the world.
What are two parts in lithospheric plates?
i believe it is the crust and upper mantle...
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
Is it true Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
True or false Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes.?
True
Is it true that earthquake zones coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates?
Yes, earthquake zones often coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates because this is where tectonic plate boundaries interact. The movement and interaction of these plates can cause stress to build up and be released in the form of earthquakes.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
What are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Does a tidal drift cause lithospheric plates to move constantly?
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
What type of scientist studies lithospheric plates?
geologists
