What theory explains the formation and movements of the outer surface of the earth?
the theory of plate tectonics
What theory explains how forces within the planet create landforms?
The theory of plate tectonics explains how forces within the planet create landforms. These forces include the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, which can collide, separate, or slide past each other, leading to various landforms such as mountains, valleys, and rifts.
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces within the earth can cause ocean floor to spread and continents to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
What is similarities tectonics and theory of the continental drift?
Tectonics is the large scale processes effecting the crust. The large scale process that is accepted to be occurring is plate tectonics (crust separated into plates that move and interact). The theory of continental drift suggested that continents moved however it never proposed a mechanism, plate tectonics is that mechanism that explains what alfred wegener saw. So back to your question similarities between what i think you mean modern tectonics i.e. plate tectonics and continental drift is that they both suggest the crust is moving.
How do plate tectonics explains mudslides tornadoes ocean currents and trenches?
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
What happened because of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics is the theory that explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere, resulting in the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. It also influences the distribution of continents, ocean basins, and the geological features of our planet.
How does tsunami affect the atmosphere?
A tsunami has little effect on the atmosphere. A tsunami is a natural disaster that can not be prevented. It is a underwater earthquake that happens when plates collide. The theory of plate tectonics explains earthquakes and other geological occurrences.
What is the theory that explains how the continents move called?
The theory is Tectonics.
What does the theory of plate tectonics affirm?
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
