What is the cause for earthquakes in Japan?
The Movement of Techtonic Plates causes the earthquakes in Japan.
Why do passive margins have no trenches?
Trenches are caused by plate movement.
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
What is the result of movement between the tectonic plates in Mexico?
There are a few. Tectonic plates in Mexico have created volcanoes, mountains, and a canyon range that makes the grand canyon look like a crack in the pavement.
What evidence from the sea floor proves that tectonic plates move?
Underwater volcanoes are one example of tectonic plate movement. Because when the plates move pools of lava are exposed and released. Hope this helped!
How many minor tectonic plates are there on Earth?
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.
What are the moving plates Compared?
The tectonic plates are compared to movable dish washer safe plates to what is physically disabled. Also the plates are called pickles so eat it.
Why do lithospheric plates move very slowly?
Lithospheric plates move very slowly because they are floating on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer of the Earth's mantle. The plates are moved by the convective currents underneath them, which are relatively slow compared to other types of movement on Earth. Additionally, the immense size and weight of the plates also contribute to their slow movement.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What is caused by the movement of the plates?
The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.
What mountains to form?
Movement of the plates.
To what are the moving plates compared?
The moving plates in the Earth's crust are often compared to puzzle pieces that fit together to form the planet's surface. This comparison helps illustrate how the plates interact and shift over time due to tectonic forces.
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What theory of the formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
