What is the ultimate cause of all weather?
The sun, which drives temperature differences across the globe and subsequently, differences in pressure.
What is the mechanism called that moves or drives the tectonic plates across the surface of the earth?
The way tectonic plates move is by the heat from the core that goes up to the mantle which pushes up the rock and pushes them together to form tectonic plates. Later the tectonic plates slowly go back down until the heat of the core reaches the mantle once again.
What is the ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle when hot material rising in the Earth generates uplift which in turn promotes erosion?
Radioactive heat
How does solar energy drive the geological process of weathering?
The sun's heat drives the climate and weather, bringing rain and snow, temperature changes and winds as weathering agents.
What force drives the process of pulling dense pieces of oceanic crust downward towards the mantle?
New crust is formed on the opposite end of the plate as it is pulled away from its neighbor.
What process drives the lithosphere plates across the surface of earth?
The lower mantle convection
What is the process of spreading data across multiple drives?
A distributed database spreads data across multiple drives. A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a very different way to spread data across multiple drives.
Does the sun driver the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks?
No. Heat from the interior of the Earth trying to reach the surface drives lithospheric plate movements which are mostly responsible for the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
What process drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient?
Active Transport.
What powers earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the Earth's core which drives lithospheric plate movements, and provides a magnetosphere which allows an atmosphere to exist. english not random stuff please
What is the longdrive?
when somebody drives cattle across the state.
What drives the process of science?
Curiosity.
What drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
Convection
Where does the energy that drives surface currents come from?
Wind
What drives process of plate tectonics?
c
Describe the force that drives most surface currents?
Wind
What drives the process of Cloud formation?
solar energy
