9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's
SIZIF [17.4K]
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.

Why do earth quakes often happen near volcanic regions
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake.

Science Question: How are the rotations and revolution of the earth, lunar phases, and tides are interconnected? Please can I ge
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Earth's rotation and the gravitational pull of the sun and moon create tides on our planet due to large size if sun .

The sun also plays a role in the formation of tides,

Explanation:

in you can say that everything is interconnected to each other because the rotation and revolution of Earth takes place around the sun the lunar phases is also due to the sun and the tides happening on the ocean or any water bodies are due to the large size of sun and the gravitational pull and also the gravitational pull of moon so everything adjust interconnected to each other due to sun and moon
