What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
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 happens when the north American plate move with the Eurasian plate move?
When the North American plate moves with the Eurasian plate, it can lead to tectonic activity such as earthquakes and mountain building along the plate boundary. This movement is a result of the larger process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several plates that interact with each other at their boundaries.
What is a sentence with the word plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics are the effects on continental and oceanic plates as they move and collide. Example :"Geologists study plate tectonics to find future stress points and earthquake zones."
Are plate tectonics flat?
No, plate tectonics refers to the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact with each other. These plates are not flat but constantly shifting and changing due to the forces beneath the Earth's surface.
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
What iis a plate tectonics?
The theory that the lithosphere is broken down into plates that can move.
Do the plate tectonics move?
they move because of the magma
What is the word when plates move?
Plate Tectonics
How do continent move apart?
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 theory states that plates move around on the athenosphere?
The theory that states that plates move around on the asthenosphere is called plate tectonics. This theory explains the movement of the Earth's lithosphere into different plates and their interactions at plate boundaries due to the convective currents in the asthenosphere beneath them.
How do earth effect the earth?
There are plate tectonics in earth and when they move, earth quakes happens. Sometimes the plate tectonics can move a continent. This is called the continental drift. Earth quakes can make volcanoes explode, tsunamis happen, and continents break. For example: The continent Pangaea. Because of the plate tectonics that caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and continents braking apart, the Pangaea broke up in to more continents and the continents broke into even more. That is why there are 7 continents in the world now. Earth quakes don't cause all these. Plate tectonics does. Plate tectonics makes earth quakes. Then, other horrible stuff happens.
How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
Idea that continents move on earth?
Plate tectonics
What is the study of the way move plates?
Plate Tectonics
What is the layer upon which plate tectonics move?
The asthenosphere.
