All the uranium in the core and mantle to decay to the point it could not keep their convection cells in motion and the core and mantle froze solid. But don't worry that will take longer than the 6 billion years we have before the sun expands to a red giant and envelops the earth, burning it up.
What else can I help you with?
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
What natural disaster would occur on tectonic plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are a common natural disaster that occur on tectonic plate boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates along faults can cause sudden release of energy, resulting in violent shaking of the Earth's surface.
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?
The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.
Which observable change would occur in NY if earths rate of rotation were one half its present rate?
The days would be longer
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?

Why would you not want to live along that plate edge?
Along plate edges is where a lot of earthquakes occur. If you were to live along a plate boundary you would be putting yourself in danger of an earthquake.
Would plate tectonics work if the mantle were made out of normal solid rock?
No, plate tectonics would not work with a solid rock mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is driven by the flow of semi-fluid rock in the mantle. If the mantle were solid, there would be insufficient convection currents to drive plate movement.
Which change would occur over the longest amount of time?
The movement of continents due to plate tectonics would occur over the longest amount of time, taking millions of years for significant changes to happen. This process is responsible for the drift and collision of continental plates, leading to the formation of mountains and ocean basins.
What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?
The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.
Which observable change would occur in NY if earths rate of rotation were one half its present rate?
The days would be longer
How could tectonic plate movement create another supercontinent like pangaea?
If the movement of the plates brought all the continents together again, a single continent would form. At the moment plate movements are not heading in that direction.
What would happen on earth that would not happen on mars because there are no plate movements there?
Without plate movements on Mars, earthquakes and volcanic activity would not occur like they do on Earth. The lack of plate tectonics also means that Mars does not have the same kind of geological processes shaping its surface, such as mountain building or the creation of deep ocean basins. Additionally, without plate movements, Mars does not experience the recycling of materials through subduction zones like on Earth.
Which observable change would occur in New York state if earths rotation were one-half it's present rate?
Days and nights would be twice as long.
What does the movement of Earth's crust along plat boundaries produce?
The movement along plate boundaries would cause an earth quake, a tsanami, or either the building of a mountain.
