How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
What is the slowest to change earths surface?
The slowest-changing feature on Earth's surface is likely its tectonic plates, which move at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement can result in slow changes in topography and the creation of mountains or ocean basins over millions of years.
What are two ways that the movement of the earth's plates change the surface of earth?
The movement of the Earth's plates can cause earthquakes, which can lead to the sudden shifting of the surface and the formation of new landforms. Additionally, the collision of tectonic plates can create mountains and valleys, altering the landscape over time through processes like uplift and subsidence.
What do the yellow arrows in this illustration represent in the earths core?
movement of earth's tectonic plates
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
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 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?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
