In general the fact that we can measure plate movement over time. Mountain ranges show the process had been happening for a long geological time. The recent earthquakes in Japan occurred at a subduction zone and shifted the Earth's axis of rotation measurably, about 4 inches.
What else can I help you with?
Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?
There is no conclusive evidence of plate tectonics on Venus. Although Venus does have tectonic features such as fractures and faults, they do not show the same pattern of movement and subduction observed on Earth. Additionally, Venus lacks evidence of large-scale crustal recycling associated with plate tectonics.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
Is plate tectonics the main lines of evidence are fossils climate clues rock and the theory of seafloor spreading?
Yes, plate tectonics is supported by various lines of evidence such as fossils showing similar species on different continents, climate clues like ancient glaciers in tropical regions, rock formations matching across continents, and the theory of seafloor spreading confirmed by magnetic striping on the ocean floor. These pieces of evidence collectively support the concept of plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
Does seismologic evidence support plate tectonics?
yes it represets plate tectonics
What is evidence for plate tectonics?
Coriolis effect.
Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?
There is no conclusive evidence of plate tectonics on Venus. Although Venus does have tectonic features such as fractures and faults, they do not show the same pattern of movement and subduction observed on Earth. Additionally, Venus lacks evidence of large-scale crustal recycling associated with plate tectonics.
What are some evidence of plate tectonics?
The ring of fire.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
What forms of evidence were used to help gather evidence for the existence of pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
Which of these does NOT provide some evidence for plate tectonics?
We don't answer questions from printed/copyrighted materials.
What are some features of the ocean floor that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
they found fossils
All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Submarine mountain ranges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, are evidence for plate tectonics. Earthquakes and volcanic activity along plate boundaries also support the theory of plate movement. Additionally, the distribution of rock types, fossils, and ancient climate indicators across continents provide further evidence for plate tectonics.
What can minerals in rocks show that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
I can't find it in my packet either.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
