What would be likely to happen to the rock cycle of earths interior cooled so much that plate motions stopped?
If Earth's interior cooled significantly enough to halt plate tectonics, the rock cycle would be severely disrupted. Without plate motions, processes such as volcanic activity, subduction, and mountain building would cease, leading to a stagnation of geological processes. Over time, weathering and erosion would continue to break down surface rocks, but without new rock formation from tectonic activity, the planet's surface would become increasingly stable and less dynamic. Ultimately, Earth’s geology would reach a state of equilibrium, with fewer changes over geological timescales.

What would be likely to happen to the rock cycle of earths interior cooled so much that the plate motions stopped?
If Earth's interior cooled significantly enough to halt plate motions, the rock cycle would be severely disrupted. Without tectonic activity, processes like subduction, volcanic eruptions, and mountain-building would cease, leading to a stagnation in the recycling of materials. Over time, surface processes such as weathering and erosion would continue, but the formation of new rocks would slow dramatically, resulting in a more uniform and less dynamic geological landscape. Ultimately, Earth's geology would become more stable but less diverse, with fewer geological features and mineral resources.
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What area of earths interior is molten?
The outer core
What does the shadow zone tell you about earths interior?
SFGSGFGFHXGFH
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth in Km?
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth is 12,262 meters
What would happend to the convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cooled down?
They will stop.

Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
How are plates motions connected with motions within the rest of the earths mantle?
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
What are earths two main motions called?
Rotation and Revolution.
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if the earths interior cooled down?
the convection currents will be set in motion because the heat from the mantle rises and causing it to change Earth's density & force of gravity
What are Earths 2 motions?
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
What is Hot magma cooled on earths surface?
Extrusive igneous rock.
What is magma cooled below earths surface called?
Intrusive rock
