What else can I help you with?
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What can occur to earths surface as a result of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics can cause various geological phenomena on Earth's surface, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains and oceanic trenches. These movements of tectonic plates can also lead to the creation and destruction of landmasses and the shifting of continents over millions of years.
What is the interaction between earths plates called?
The interaction between Earth's plates is called plate tectonics. This process involves the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Plate tectonics is responsible for the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
Was earths tectonics plates ever stationary?
no
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
Did the upper mantle or core of earths surface drive the plate tectonics?
The mantle, being of a silly-putty-like consistancy, is responsible for the movement of the plates on earth's crust, or plate tectonics.
According to the theory of plate tectonics how many large plates exists on the earths surface?
Six -out of nine- large plates do contain land-areas: North American, South American, Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, and Antarctic. The other three are oceanic plates: the Pacific, Nazca, and Cocos.

What sort of energy allows the tectonics plates to move?
The Earths internal heat.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
What are deep ocean trenches caused by?
Plate tectonics, the moving and repositioning of earths plates.
