What lithospheric plate is the largest?
The last person to answer was a complete and total idiot. The correct answer is the Pacific Plate.
What is a basal drag?
It is a force that could be contributing or complementing mantle convectional currents in the movements of lithospheric or tectonic plates. This force is generated when there is friction between convectional currents and the lithospheric or tectonic plate that lies above.
Knowing the average speed of earths plates helps scientists?
it helps the scientists to predict future changes.
What is the name of the geological theory that states that large pieces or slabs of Earth's crust -or lithosphere- are in constant slow motion?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics.
What are 3 examples of science models?
Three examples of scientific models include the atomic model, which illustrates the structure of atoms and their interactions; the climate model, which simulates Earth's climate systems to predict future climate changes; and the plate tectonics model, which explains the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates and their role in geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes. These models help scientists understand complex systems and make predictions based on observed data.
Which two processes do scientists think move the earths lithospheric plates?
bruh
What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing earths lithospheric into several plates?
Geographical activities such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes form the basis of this division.
What does the lithospheric plates move on?
Aesthenosphere
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transfrom faults?
Lithospheric plates build up pressure due to the movement of mantle convection currents, which exert forces on the overlying plates. When the force exceeds the strength of the rocks along a transform fault, the built-up pressure is released, causing the plates to give way and produce an earthquake.
Do lithospheric plates constantly move?
Yes.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
Do lithospheric plates move often?
They constantly move. EDIT: Lithospheric plates move only about a few centimeters a year. Hope this helps! ~SLL
Is it true Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
What are the 2 parts of the lithospheric plates?
The lithospheric plates are made up of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Does a tidal drift cause lithospheric plates to move constantly?
No, tidal drift is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, and it does not directly cause the movement of lithospheric plates. The movement of lithospheric plates is driven by the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Earth's crust.
What is the heat transfer called of lithospheric plates?
The heat transfer in lithospheric plates is called conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat through the solid material of the plates due to the movement of vibrating particles.
