What is the difference between earth tectonics and martian tectonics?

Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.


What modern process is thought to be similar to the way crust formed before plate tectonics began?

The formation of the Hawaiian Islands


What two elements may be thought of as a pool of costs?

Labor and materials may be thought of as a pool of costs. Labor costs represent the expenses associated with the workforce, while materials costs refer to the expenses related to the raw materials or components needed for production.


The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from what?

The dissolved materials in seawater are thought to originate from the weathering of rocks on land, as well as from volcanic activity and chemical reactions at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. These processes contribute minerals, salts, and organic matter to the water, creating the diverse composition of seawater.


How does ocean trenches have to do with plate tectonics?

i think that if anyone had to answer this, it would be someone with professional knowledge on the topic. I would probably say that someone like a PROFESSOR. Plate tectonics is a huge topic, and it needs constant thinking and deep thought into why each tectonic plate actually moves as it does. I personally think that the Atlantic Ocean is one that expands due to the fact that it simply is HUGE and vast as it is.

What is the effect on a plate when slab sinks?

The slab sinks faster and this pulls on the rest of the plate, continuing plate tectonics. Mantle convection creates the instability that allows plate tectonics to get going and helps a little, but it's not thought to be the main driving force.


Are convection currents related to plate tectonics?

A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.


Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?

Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.

What Force can be thought as either a push or a pull as long as it makes the object move in a circular path?

The centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center of a circular path, keeping an object moving in that path. It can be thought of as a push or a pull, depending on the context, as long as it maintains the object's circular motion.


What is shape of red blood cell in frog?

I thought it was spoon shaped, but it turned out to be rectangular.


Can you only use diameter for circular objects?

That's a good question. I have never thought about that. But yes, for anything excluding circular objects, length and width are used.
