What force caused the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to their present positions?
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.
What force caused the movement of the continents from one supper continents to their positions?
The convection forces of plate tectonics.
What is the average resell for a bosovi?
The Prodori jewelry company is a false jewlers. The resale of a Bosovi is only about $35 all materials on the watch are false every thing to the fake Swiss movement, false karat cuts to the gold plate. Take your watch to an expert he or she WILL tell you the same, sorry.
What is the function of a treadle?
A treadle is a foot operated plate, which when pressed, causes a rotary movement for a machine.The plate is connected, usually via a rod, to a crank. Pushing on the treadle in a careful, repeated manner, will move the crank and cause rotary motion in the machine.
What is the total temperature change 1000 m and 4 000 m in depth?
Away from tectonic plate boundaries, it is 25-30°C per km of depth in most of the world therefore it is somewhere between 75 and 90°C at that depth thanks to Wikipedia for that one.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
How do the tectonic plates moved the continents?
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
How have continents moved in the past?
Plate tectonics. Continents are the exposed (from the oceans) geological areas of tectonic plates. Continents can also be on top of more than one tectonic plate. When these plates move, continents move with them. Millions of years ago, continents were split apart and also created by tectonic plate movement.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
If a tectonic plate has moved 125cm in a 25-year period what is its average rate of movement in cmyear?
This question depends on which plates you're talking about. Tectonic plates move in different directions and have different rates of movement. For example, the Nazca plate is moving eastward at 13.4 cm per year, but the most southern edge of the African plate is only moving northeast at 1.4 cm per year.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What is Titanic plate movement?

How did the Brazilian highlands form?
Tectonic plate movement.
Why is it unlikely that some of the tectonic plates will stop moving?
The lithosphere and sea floor spreading are both factors in the movement of tectonic plate movement. As there is no foreseeable reason for the currents to stop, there is also no foreseeable reason for all tectonic plate movement to stop.
