What do scientists call the theory that describe the motion of the plates?
Scientists call the theory that describes the motion of tectonic plates "plate tectonics." This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that move and interact with each other, leading to processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
What best describes what earths plates are made up of?
Earth's plates are made up of the rigid outer layer of the Earth's surface, known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them, which allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is Movement of earths continents?
The movement of Earth's continents is known as plate tectonics. It describes how Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates move over time, leading to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and the shifting of continents.
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What do scientists called the theory that describes the motion of the plates?
Plate Tectonics
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.

What term describes areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
