Expains the movement of the Earth’s crust and how the movement of the tectonic plates can cause geomorphological changes and how they could contribte to hazards. Relating to: “the causes and impacts of a geomorphological hazard on people, places and environments, and the effects of responses”

When two or more tectonic plates near the end of their life cycle, it creates a convergent boundary.

Students investigate how mountains are formed. Concepts include the composition and structure of the Earth's tectonic plates and tectonic plate boundaries, with an emphasis on plate convergence as it relates to mountain formation. Students learn that geotechnical engineers design technologies to measure movement of tectonic plates and mountain formation, as well as design to alter the mountain environment to create safe and dependable roadways and tunnels.

Other articles where lithosol is discussed: South America: Soils: …slopes are often steep, and lithosols (shallow soils consisting of imperfectly weathered rock fragments) abound, accounting for another 10 percent of the continent’s surface. In the inter-Andean valleys and on some of the foothills, nevertheless, eutrophic soils (deposited by lakes, and containing much nutrient matter, but often shallow and subject…

The earth's plates are restless! They move apart, bump into each other, and sideswipe each other! The San Andreas Fault just can't sit still. Find out what happens when plates rub against each other!

sections of Earth's crust can come together and collide ( “convergent” plate boundary), spread apart ( “divergent” plate boundary), or slide past one another ( “transform'' plate boundary)

A group of geophysicists is testing the hypothesis that the rate of "supercontinent assembly"—or tectonic plate movement—changes over time. S
