What instrument is used for studying Earth's magnetic field?
Magnetometer
Whose idea was the continental drift?
I do, looking at the map it does look like a puzzle and all the continents look like they connect or used to connect.
What instrument is used to record a volcano?
a seismograph
Which instrument is used to record the earth's tremors?
It is a seismograph
What instrument used to record the vibrations caused by earthquaked is the?
seismograph
Fissures formation by plate tectonics theory?
Plate tectonics is the theory used to explain the structure of the Earth's various formations and plate boundaries between the major tectonic plates.
What is Plate Tectonics used for?
used to create mountains. no, it is also used to make volcano's.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What technological methods used to prove that plate tectonics occur?
Various technological methods have been used to prove that plate tectonics occur. The most common are ocean floor mapping and earthquake tracking.
What instrument is used for studying Earth's magnetic field?
Magnetometer
Which was an idea used to promote the theory of plate tectonics?
Mountain ranges linking in England and America
What was the idea used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics?
The existance of land bridges between continents
Instrument used in studying heavenly bodies?
Optical or radio telescope
Plate tectonics used in a sentence?
In geomorphology, Plate Tectonics is the process by which the continents and the oceanic plates are moved across the face of the Earth. This is driven by thermal upwelling in the mantle, and originates from radioactive energy generated in the core of the Earth.
What is used in studying cells and it's structure?
A microscope would be one instrument used.
What is the theory of plate tectonics used for?
The theory of plate tectonics is used to understand geological processes, such as ridges forming, volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains forming, and also to predict and minimize damage done by some of these natural disasters. Using plate tectonics to study earthquakes can help scientists predict roughly when an earthquake will occur, and also the severity of it. This is done by studying the outline of the plates involved. Plate tectonics also explains the Mid Atlantic Ridge in Iceland, which formed because plates separated, leaving magma to rise and cool. Mountains are formed when plates of similar strength and thicknes collide but do no buckle, and so formed mountains as they press together upward. Volcanic islands are formed by gaps in the boundaries of plates, and as the magma spews forth and cools, the buildup eventually creates an island.
Which was an argument used to dispute the theory of plate tectonics?
Continents cannot cut through the ocean floor.
