What is a theory that Earth's surface is divided into more than 12 slow -moving plates?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's surface is divided into several large and slow-moving plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates interact at their boundaries, leading to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation. The movement of these plates has shaped the Earth's surface over millions of years.
When plates slide past each other at a transform boundary geological processes is most likely to occur?
An earthquake will most likely occur because the techtonic plates below the earth's surface are grinding past one another causing severe shaking.
Is the surface of the earth divided by more than 50 large plates?
Yes, the surface of the Earth is divided into more than 50 large plates known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
How Can seismic be used to determine an earthquake epicenter?
Like a polyghraph squiggles show the techtonic plates moving.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
How does a earthquakes place affect tsunamis?
when the techtonic plates move, they can make an earthquake, that then may trigger techtonic plates to move and begin waves that become a tsunami
What is the type of boundary where techtonic plates separate?
Divergent
What are earths techtonic plates made of?
massive rocks
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What makes the earth crust move?
The vibration of the techtonic plates. :)
What are 2 ways techtonic plates can collide?
tension and compression:)
Where and how do most mountains form?
mostly on techtonic plates by volcanos
Are earthquakes and volcanoes both caused by techtonic plates?
yes
What are the techtonic plates called under each of the conttinents?
there are many
