What else can I help you with?
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What are some landforms that support the plate tectonics theory?
Examples of landforms that support the plate tectonics theory include mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, and volcanic arcs. These features provide evidence of seafloor spreading, subduction zones, and volcanic activity at plate boundaries, which are key aspects of the theory.
When was the plate tectonics theory accepted?
it wasnt accepted. Wegener's theory of continetal drift wasnt accepted. the theory of plate tectonics was created when scientists discovered about sea floor spreading and magnetic reversals. but i dont know when the theory of plate tectonics was created. so you can ask about that.
Does mars have a asthenosphere?
Mars does not have an asthenosphere like Earth. The asthenosphere is a layer in Earth's upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows for plate tectonics to occur. Mars does not have active plate tectonics, so it does not have a comparable asthenosphere.
What is similarities tectonics and theory of the continental drift?
Tectonics is the large scale processes effecting the crust. The large scale process that is accepted to be occurring is plate tectonics (crust separated into plates that move and interact). The theory of continental drift suggested that continents moved however it never proposed a mechanism, plate tectonics is that mechanism that explains what alfred wegener saw. So back to your question similarities between what i think you mean modern tectonics i.e. plate tectonics and continental drift is that they both suggest the crust is moving.
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
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.
Are there plate tectonics on the moon?
I don't believe so.
What are some landforms that support the plate tectonics theory?
Examples of landforms that support the plate tectonics theory include mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, and volcanic arcs. These features provide evidence of seafloor spreading, subduction zones, and volcanic activity at plate boundaries, which are key aspects of the theory.
How has plate tectonics affected the land of Mexico?
it was so big
Does the theory of plate tectonics contain both seafloor spreading and continental drift?
Yes. The theory of plate tectonics is very broad, and it covers seafloor spreading, continental drift, plate boundaries and so on.
When was the plate tectonics theory accepted?
it wasnt accepted. Wegener's theory of continetal drift wasnt accepted. the theory of plate tectonics was created when scientists discovered about sea floor spreading and magnetic reversals. but i dont know when the theory of plate tectonics was created. so you can ask about that.
Is there any alien so far discovered?
No. To date there is no proven direct evidence of extraterrestrial life.
How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
Why does NZ have so many earthquakes?
Because New Zealand is on the edge of the plate tectonics.
Does mars have a asthenosphere?
Mars does not have an asthenosphere like Earth. The asthenosphere is a layer in Earth's upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows for plate tectonics to occur. Mars does not have active plate tectonics, so it does not have a comparable asthenosphere.
If plate tectonics was to stop would it cease volcanism?
That's like saying, if the world didn't exist would we still have oceans? You can't really get rid of plate tectonics so it doesn't really mean anything.
