How is the escalator related to the movement of lithospheric plates?
Answers
Answer:
plate tectonics tectonics from the the ancient Greek the lithosphere which is the Rig outermost shell of planet is broken into tectonic planet diagram of the the internal wearing of earth showing the lithosphere above the asthenosphere
Gravity and Heat are fundamental to the process.
- Lithospheric plates are comprised of planetary-scale thermal convection systems.
- The lithosphere is divided into huge slabs called tectonic plates.
- The heat that comes from the mantle makes the rock at the bottom of the lithosphere a bit soft.
- This is the reason the plates move and this movement is known as plate tectonics.
- The energy source is Earth's internal heat.
- The heat from radioactive processes in the planet's interior results into the movement of plates.
- This movement is known as tectonic shift or plate motion.
