What else can I help you with?
Are there any evidence that plate tectonics operated on the moon?
no,because the moon is really ugly like some people on this earth
How much affect does the moon have on plate tectonics?
My opinion is very little. The Moon's gravity pulls uniformly on both sides of a tectonic plate.
Are any of the mountains on the moon formed by plate tectonics?
No, the mountains on the moon are primarily formed by impact craters or volcanic activity, rather than plate tectonics. The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so the geological processes that shape its surface differ from those on Earth.
Does gravitational attraction between the Sun the Moon nd the Earth create guyots?
No, it is usually plate tectonics.
Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.

All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
Are there plate tectonics on the moon?
I don't believe so.
What contributes to the lack of evidence of the period of heavy bombardement on earth?
Weathering, plate movements, and volcanoes destroyed many of the craters. The factors contribute to the lack of evidence of heavy bombardment of earth. This evidence was subducted or, if not subducted, weathered; since Earth was and still is a "living" planet, meaning a planet with active plate tectonics and an active hydro/atmosphere. This activity is in contrast to the Moon, where plate tectonics stopped shortly after its formation and where a hydro/atmosphere could never form. Both because the Moon was simply too small (and thus too light) to sustain plate tectonics and to keep volatiles with him/her.

No, it is usually plate tectonics.
Why doesn't the Moon have plate tectonics like the Earth?
Scientists believe that tectonic activity is not occurring on the moon. This is because the moon lacks radioactive decay. The moon is not constantly supplied heat and energy from decaying unstable isotopes like Earth. Also, Earth is heated by the original heat during its formation. Since the moon was most likely broken off from earth, it lacks this central heat.
