Question

What special characteristic of the Earth’s crust allows for geological events to occur?

What special characteristic of the Earth’s mantle allows for geological events to occur?

Answer 1

The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement. The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years
