The slow shifts of our planet's crust, known as plate tectonics, are believed to arise from the movement of the Earth's lithosphere. This movement is driven by the heat and circulation of the underlying mantle, causing the lithospheric plates to slowly move apart, collide, or slide past each other.
What else can I help you with?
What are the planets that make up Earth's crust?
Planets do not make up the Earth's crust.
What planet has a rocky crust and a dense core?
The planets closer to the sun tend to have rocky crust and dense cores.
Is Convection the process believed to drive the movement of the plates of the crust?
Yes!
The crust of mars is believed to what than earths?
The crust of Mars is believed to be thicker and more rigid than Earth's. While Earth's crust is relatively dynamic due to tectonic activity, Mars has a more stable crust with fewer signs of plate tectonics. Additionally, the Martian crust is composed of basaltic rocks, similar to Earth's oceanic crust, but lacks the continental crust's diversity. Overall, these differences contribute to Mars' unique geological history and landscape.
What atmosphere quality is NOT characteristic of the Jovian planets?
A solid surface.Creation before the Frost line.Small diametersRocky crust
Are there often earthquakes before volcanoes?
Earthquakes are a common precursor to Volcanic eruptions due to shifts in the planets crust caused by the shifting of magma underneath the earth.
What are the planets that make up Earth's crust?
Planets do not make up the Earth's crust.
Are the planets that make up Earth's crust?
Planets do not make up the Earth's crust.
Do shifts in the Earth's crust cause earthquakes?
yes they do
Why planets are not luminous?
because the heat of the crust of the planets is not enough to produce light of its own
what are small often unfelt shifts of earth’s crust called?
Earth tremors
Do planets have their own light?
no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own
What are the layers of the terrestrial planets?
There are three, the crust, the mantle, and the core.
What is the layer between a planets crust and its core?
It is called the Mantle.
What planet has a rocky crust and a dense core?
The planets closer to the sun tend to have rocky crust and dense cores.
Is the average density of the terrestrial planets greater or less than the density of Earth's crust?
The average density of the terrestrial planets is greater than the density of Earth's crust. Terrestrial planets have higher densities due to their composition of rock and metal, while Earth's crust is composed of lighter minerals like granite and basalt.
What happens to the Earth's crust during an earthquake?
it erodes but i cant erode cauz erode means to eat through so it shifts
