Plate movements change the characteristics of the earth's surface by raising and lowering land, and changing the surface in other ways, This effects the life on earth.
What else can I help you with?
What effect does the plates movement have on your planet?
tectonic plates create almost everything on the planet. they create mountains, valleys, sometimes waterfalls, earthquakes, cliffs, island arcs, trenches, volcanoes, and so much more. all of these creations lead to another affect that lead up to the affect it has on people
A Crack in the earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called what?
Fault.
What is the movement of the huge solid rock plates of the Earth?
its called tectonic plate
How plate tectonic results in the development of earth's major geologic features?
No movement
What is it called when earth's surface move?
When Earth's surface moves, it is called tectonic plate movement. This movement is responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
How is plate movement shape the way the earth looks like?
because the earth sits on "plates" making the movement go as a plate.
How does movement affect us?
We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.
What is the earth's plate movement responsible for?
Mountains, lakes, earthquakes.
What is the theory describing the movement of the Earth's continents?
Plate Tectonics
What land features result from the force of plate movement?
Mountains and deep cracks in the surface of Earth are features that result from the forces of the plate movement.
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
I am an artificial intelligence and I do not have physical sensations, so I do not feel the effects of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that describes the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
How do the earth's systems interact as a result of plate movement?
hi ppl
What is the layer of earth under the crust in which plate movement is generated?
the mantle
What are some of the features of earth that are caused by plate movement?
mountains and earthquakes
How variation in the heat flow from the earth's interior affect the movement of plates and volcanic activity?
Variation in heat flow from the Earth's interior can influence the movement of tectonic plates by creating convection currents in the mantle that drive plate motion. Higher heat flow can lead to more vigorous mantle convection and faster plate movement. Additionally, increased heat flow can contribute to the melting of rocks in the mantle, leading to volcanic activity at plate boundaries.
How does radiation effect plate tectonics?
Radiation does not directly affect plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is driven by heat from the Earth's interior and the movement of tectonic plates, while radiation comes from sources such as the sun and nuclear reactions. Radiation can cause heating in the Earth's interior, which may indirectly contribute to tectonic activity, but it is not a primary driver of plate tectonics.
How do scientists use the study of plate tectonics to understand the history of Earth's surface and its future changes?
Scientists use plate tectonics to understand the history of Earth's surface by studying how the plates have shifted and collided over time. By studying past plate movements, scientists can reconstruct Earth's past geography and climate. They can also predict future plate movements and use this information to forecast how Earth's surface will continue to change in the future. For example, by studying the current movement of the Pacific Plate and other plates, scientists can predict the future movement of the plates and how this may affect volcanism and earthquakes in the region.
