What drives the process of plates tectonics?
unequal heat ditribution
What is the interaction between earths plates called?
The interaction between Earth's plates is called plate tectonics. This process involves the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. Plate tectonics is responsible for the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
What drives the process of plates tectonics the currently accepted explanation for the movement of drifting continents?
Unequal heat distribution.
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What drives the process of plates tectonics?
unequal heat ditribution
What happens when tectonics plates collide and one divides below the other?
It creates valleys or trenches
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics?
They are the same thing.

How are earthquakes made in japan?
Plate Tectonics, a natural process that can occur anywhere in the world. (What happens, is, an earthquake is made when 2 plates collide into one another - making the recent earthquake, and the tsunami that followed after.)
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
What drives the process of plates tectonics the currently accepted explanation for the movement of drifting continents?
Unequal heat distribution.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
What are plates in the Earth's crust?
the tectonics plates will stick together.
What carries the tectonics plates?
the trays
Is plate tectonics where plates meet?
"Plate tectonics" refers to the process by which the plates move, combining stress, thermal expansion, melting, subduction, rifting, and faulting. Tectonics is from the Latin word for "building" and the various continental plates are called "tectonic plates" because they are built from magma and manipulated by the flow of hot, fluid rock beneath them.The points at which plates intersect are called boundaries. Along these are various faults, which are discontinuities caused by the complex motion of subsurface rock.
What process in earth's interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
