What else can I help you with?
Which planet has plate tectonics?
Earth.
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
What is the difference between earth tectonics and martian tectonics?
Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.
Does the sun support the process of plate tectonics?
No, the sun's energy heats the Earth's atmosphere and surface, but it does not directly drive plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is primarily driven by heat from the Earth's interior, specifically by the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle.
WHAT forces change earth's crust?
plate tectonics
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How Does the Mantle Affect the Earth's Crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
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 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 high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
Which planet has plate tectonics?
Earth.
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
What do plate tectonics process in earth?
Earth materials.
What theory states that earth's surface is broken into separate plated?
Plate tectonics
What will happen to the earth if plate tectonics will not take place give the answer?
the plate tectonics will be flat and no more volcanoes.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
Does plate tectonics make the earth smaller?
No it does not.
