What else can I help you with?
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
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 is the theory that earths crust is in a slow motion?
Plate Tectonics. The crust is in large, irregular plates shuffling around by new rock extruded from the upper Mantle in ocean plate boundaries, balanced by the loss of the fringes of the ocean-floor plates to subduction.
Does convection cause tectonic plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle play a role in the movement of tectonic plates by driving the process of plate tectonics. As heated material rises in the mantle and cooler material sinks, it creates a circular motion that drags the tectonic plates above it. This movement influences the direction and speed of plate motion.
Which part of earths is divided into plates?
Inner core
What theory describes the motion of the force driving the Earth's plates?
The theory that describes the motion of the force driving the Earth's plates is called plate tectonics. It explains how the lithosphere is divided into several large, rigid plates that move over the asthenosphere due to the motion of convection currents in the mantle. This movement causes interactions at plate boundaries, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What do scientists called the theory that describes the motion of the plates?
Plate Tectonics
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
What do scientists call the theory that describe the motion of the plates?
Scientists call the theory that describes the motion of tectonic plates "plate tectonics." This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several large plates that move and interact with each other, leading to processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
What term describes areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
Are blizzards used as a evidence the the earths surface consist of plates that are in continuous motion?
No. Blizzards have nothing to do with plate tectonics.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
What are the driving forces of continental drift?
The driving Forces of Continental drift are both gravity and the motion of the underground Tectonic Plates.
What is the motion of earths plates?
Slow and constant.
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 forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
