What causes the ocean floor to spread?
the movement of the world tiny earth quakes we have every day. it separates when the earths core feels the need to move into a proper position so the earth quake does not effect it.
What causes the sea floor to spread apart?
Sea floor spreading occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates away from each other. This movement creates a gap or rift at the mid-ocean ridge where magma rises up from below the Earth's crust, solidifying to form new crust. Over time, this process results in the continuous widening of the sea floor.
Why is the crust of the earth continually moving?
The crust of the Earth is continually moving due to the tectonic plates beneath it shifting and interacting with one another. This movement is driven by processes like mantle convection and plate tectonics, which cause the plates to collide, slide past each other, or move apart, leading to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains and ocean basins.
A fracture in the crust of the earth is called the?
A fracture in the crust of the earth is called a fault. Faults are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and they can result in earthquakes when the built-up energy is released suddenly.
How do phylum ciliophora move?
Phylum Ciliophora move using hair-like structures called cilia, which beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through water. The cilia create a current that helps the organism move and also aids in feeding and sensing the environment.
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What layer of earth is made up of plates that move?
The earths crust
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
In what ways do plates in the earths crust move?
they move in all sorts of ways like the bottom and the top lol :}
Do some part of the earths crust move up 12 cm per year?
no
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
How do earthqukes form?
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
What is the scientific defeniton of a fault?
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.
