The earth's crust floats on the mantle. The movement is very slowly. Despite this slowness, over millions of years, this movement has created many of our Earth's landforms. Landforms are created because the plates are moving in different directions. When plates are moving away from each other they form divergent boundaries. Plates that are moving towards one another from convergent boundaries. At some places where plates come together, they crumple and lift to form mountains. Other converging plates form subduction zones . An ocean trench marks the region where a denser plate is forced under ( subducts) a less dense plate . Plates also move in sliding motion past one another to form transform fault boundaries. The motion at these boundaries is more like a grinding and scraping with sudden jolts due to the building up of pressure.
What else can I help you with?
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Compression is a force that changes earths crust by?
Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by causing rocks to squeeze together. This can result in the bending, folding, or faulting of the crust as the rocks are pushed and deformed. Over time, compression can lead to the formation of mountain ranges.
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What causes changes to earths land form?
what causes changes to earths landform
Is the crust the top layer of the earths crust?
Yes, the crust is the top layer. It continually changes.
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
What causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere?
what causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere is the tilt of the earths axis
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
What theory explains changes in the earths crust?
Contenintal Drift theory
How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
What do scientist use to describe the sequence and length of changes to the earths crust?
Wave Length.
How does earths crust respond to addition and subtraction of mass?
When mass is added to Earth's crust, it causes the crust to subside and sink due to the increased weight. Conversely, when mass is removed from the crust, it can rebound and rise due to the decreased load. This process is known as isostatic adjustment and can result in changes in the Earth's topography.
What process causes Earth's crust to be continuously formed by volcanic activity?
Pressure from the earths core
What causes season changes in Norway?
The earths orbit around the sun.
