What else can I help you with?
What tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults?
True
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
True or false question the speed of earth's plates is very slow?
True. Earth's tectonic plates move at speeds of a few centimeters per year, which is considered slow in geological terms. This movement is driven by processes such as the heat generated by the Earth's core.
Is it true that scientists think the earths crust is divided into plates?
Yes, scientists believe that the Earth's outer shell, known as the lithosphere, is divided into several large plates that are in constant motion. This theory, called plate tectonics, helps explain the movement of continents, the formation of mountains and earthquakes, and the distribution of volcanoes around the world.
Is it true earth's plates move quickly on top of the crust?
Earth's tectonic plates move at a slow and constant rate, typically a few centimeters per year. While this movement may seem slow on human timescales, it can result in significant geological changes over long periods of time.
What is true about the lithospere plates?
they constantly move
Pollutants in rivers and streams can move in Earths oceans?
True
What tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults?
True
What is true about the density of gases as you move farther away from earths surface?
it remains unchanged
Is earths surface all one piece true or false?
No, it is made up of many different plates that are always shifting, thus creating earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes. Hope this helped!
Is it true that tectonic plates move quickly generally shifting one mile each year?
Tectonic plates move at a rate of a few centimeters to a few inches per year, not one mile. The movement of tectonic plates is gradual and occurs due to geological forces acting over long periods of time.
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
Is it true that earthquakes are formed by the heat of the sun and the coldness of the ocean?
No, earthquakes happen as the result of Earth's tectonic plates moving. Tectonic plates are what make up the lithosphere, the top layer of the crust. When the plates move, they either rub against each other, called "shearing", collide with each other, "compression", or they move away from each other, "tension". As the plates move, the rumbling earthquake occurs.
Is true or false oceanic lithosphere is created at divergent boundaries?
Yes; at divergent/constructive boundaries, plates move apart and new oceanic lithosphere forms.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
