What is a basal drag?
It is a force that could be contributing or complementing mantle convectional currents in the movements of lithospheric or tectonic plates. This force is generated when there is friction between convectional currents and the lithospheric or tectonic plate that lies above.
What is the name of the geological theory that states that large pieces or slabs of Earth's crust -or lithosphere- are in constant slow motion?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics.
What are the 3 forces that scientists hypothesize move lithospheric plates?
scientist thought someone moved it
Why do plate tectonics have names?
It is a suitable name because tectonics comes from the Greek word tekton which means builder, and plate tectonics refers to the building of the features on Earth's surface due to deformation caused by plate movements...
What is a sentence for plate?
Plate tectonics is a theory that the Earth's crust is divided into many plates that glide over the mantle.He forgot to step on home plate so the umpire said he was out.That necklace is made of gold plate not solid gold.
What is the lithosphere plate?
Of the seven major lithospheric plates, the Pacific is the largest.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
What is the definition for lithospheric plate?
The definition of Lithospheric Plate is:) Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Also Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm has nothing to do with it.
How often does the lithospheric plate move?
annually
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
How was the cascade range formed?
The cascade range was formed by subduction which is the process by which one lithospheric plate is forced beneath another lithospheric plate, usually along a convergent plate boundary
What does a plate consist of?
Tectonic plate consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by crustal
What is the study of lithospheric plates called?
plate tectonics
How thick is the average lithospheric plate?
100 km
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
