What else can I help you with?
What is one way in which the contintal drift hypothesis and the plate tectonic thery differ?
One key difference is that the continental drift hypothesis proposed that the continents moved through the oceanic crust, while plate tectonics theory explains the movement of large rigid plates that make up the Earth's lithosphere. Plate tectonics theory also includes the concept of seafloor spreading and subduction, which were not part of the original continental drift hypothesis.
What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
What is the plate on kilauea located?
The Pacific Plate. In the middle of the plate the volcano is rising from the plate movement.
What does Wagner's hypothesis of continental drift state?
Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift proposed that continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea and have since drifted apart over time. This theory laid the foundation for the modern theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
WHAT ARE THE GEOLOGIC processes events that will occur because of this plate movement?
What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
What is the hypothesis for run away pepper?
The hypothesis for the phenomenon of "run away pepper" could be that the movement of pepper flakes on a plate is caused by a combination of factors such as heat convection, air currents, and static electricity. The movement may not be random but influenced by these underlying forces.

What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?
Divergent plate movement.
Does Uranus have plate movement?
No it does not have plate movements.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
Why was Wegener's hypothesis reject?
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
Which plate appears to have little or no movement at all?
Antarctic plate !
What was the proposed hypothesis that is now called continental drift?
The proposed hypothesis that is now called continental drift suggested that Earth's continents were once joined together in a single landmass, which broke apart and drifted to their current positions over time due to the movement of tectonic plates. This idea later led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics to explain the movement of Earth's lithosphere.
One hypothesis states that plate movement results from convection currents in thea mantle c lithosphere b asthenosphere d outer core?
b. asthenosphere Convection currents in the asthenosphere are believed to be responsible for driving plate movement through the process of mantle convection. This movement of the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath the rigid lithosphere is thought to cause the plates to move over the Earth's surface.
