Moving Plates

What are way plates can move?

Tectonic plates move because mantle rocks near the radioactive core are heated and the warmer rocks rise while the cooler rocks sink creating slow, vertical currents within the mantle. This movement of warmer and cooler mantle rocks, in turn, creates pockets of circulation within the mantle called convection cells. The circulation of these convection cells could very well be the driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates over the asthenosphere.

Plates can move past each other, apart from each other, one plate can sink below another. Finally to plates can run into each other. So I'm guessing plates can move in anyway possible.

Subduction is when a plate sinks under another plate. because it moved under it.

There are three ways by which tectonic plates can move. The first way is divergent which means that plates will move apart. The second way is convergent by which plates will collide and the third way is through the process of transformation wherein the plates will grind each other side by side.

The flow of the mantle affects how fast and what direction the plates move.

Plates can move up and down and side to side. :)

Casey K said...

They slip past each other so one plate goes one way and another goes another.

The Earth's thin outer shell is broken into big pieces called tectonic plates. These plates fit together like a puzzle, but they're not stuck in one place. They are floating on the Earth's mantle, a really thick layer of hot flowing rock. The flow of the mantle causes the plates to move in different directions. When the edges of plates meet, four things can happen. the link in the hint thing up at the top.

The ways they can move are called slip, spreading, collision, and subduction. As shown above......

Well, it right below the question, and you gave us some interactive thingy, slip, spreading, collision, and subduction. COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLISION!!!!!!!!!!

The ways that the plates move are called slip, spreading, collision, and subduction. When plates slip they slip past each other, spreading is when two plates spread apart from each other, collision is when two plates collide with each other, and subduction is when one plate slips below another plate.

Plates move in ways such as strike-slip, spreading, collision and subduction. Depending if the plates are oceanic or continental, different results will occur.
