Which theory of plate movement relies on the weight of the subducting crust?
The theory of plate movement that relies on the weight of the subducting crust is known as slab pull. As an oceanic plate descends into the mantle at a subduction zone, it pulls the rest of the plate behind it due to gravity. This process is a significant driving force in plate tectonics.
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
The plate movement that relies on the weight of the subducting crust is called slab pull. As the dense oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a subduction zone, it exerts a pulling force on the rest of the tectonic plate. This pulling force helps drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
When does glacial movement begin?
Glacial movement begins when the weight of accumulating snow compresses into ice, causing it to flow under its own weight downhill. This typically happens when snowfall exceeds snowmelt for an extended period, allowing the ice to slowly begin its movement.
Application of muscular force with movement is called?
The application of muscular force with movement is called muscle contraction. This occurs when muscles generate tension and shorten in length to produce movement such as lifting a weight or running.
What cause shifting mountains weight to change?
The weight distribution of shifting mountains can change due to tectonic forces, erosion, volcanic activity, or geological processes. Movement along fault lines, landslides, or the deposition of sediment can also contribute to changes in the weight distribution of mountains.

What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?
In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.

What employs a weight and a wire to detect horizontal movement.?
A creep meter. ^.^ Be glad I just did a question on your homework!
What is a diet that will help me lose weight?
Atkin's is a popular diet that relies heavily on protein as the main ingredient in meals. It also limits carbohydrate intake. The HGC diet is another popular diet which relies on HGC and a low calorie diet plan.
What is an example of the slab pull ridge push mechanism?
In the slab pull ridge push mechanism, as a tectonic plate subducts beneath another, the weight of the subducting plate (slab pull) and the force exerted by the rising ridge system (ridge push) both contribute to the movement of the plates. For example, the movement of the Pacific Plate due to subduction beneath the North American Plate in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States is driven by the combined effects of slab pull and ridge push.
