the earth crust moves constantly although its movement is not felt by the people . why is earth crust in constant motion

Asked by Nongki7120

Answer (1)

The Earth's crust moves constantly because of the movement of tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle called the asthenosphere. The motion is driven by convection currents in the mantle caused by heat from the Earth's core. This process leads to phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
