What else can I help you with?
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What do you call the area where two tectonic plates meet?
The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, interactions between the plates can result in processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, or continental collision.
Is the ring of fire were many of earths plates meet the Atlantic ocean?
No.They meet in the Pacific Ocean.
Do volcanoes erupt in places where two of the earths plates meet?
yes sometimes
Where is gold located?
Near volcanoes, creeks, rivers, caves. Anywhere the earths plates meet and usually in veins.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
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.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
How many earths plates are there?
20.
Is the ring of fire an area were many of the earths plates meet in the Atlantic ocean?
The 'Ring Of Fire' is made up of fault lines which border the Pacific ocean.
