Do clocks and watches use the same mechanism?

Clocks and watches use different mechanisms for movement. A clock uses power source, wheel train, escapement, and oscillator mechanisms. A watch uses full plate movement, three -quarter movement, bridge movement, manual or hand winding, and automatic or self winding.


What are mechanisms of plate motions described as?

Plate tectonics.


Many scientists believe that crustal plate movement occurs because of convection cells contained in earth's?

mantle. Heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents in the mantle, which drives the movement of the tectonic plates on the surface. This process is known as plate tectonics and is responsible for shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.


What movement does mantle convection currents cause?

They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.

Which has not been proposed as a mechanism of plate motions?

The idea that plate motions are caused by electromagnetic forces has not been widely proposed as a mechanism of plate motions. The most accepted mechanism is the theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that plate motions result from the movement of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Other proposed mechanisms include ridge push, slab pull, and mantle plumes.

How long does it take for the Eurasian plate to travel 3 meters?

The rate of movement for tectonic plates such as the Eurasian plate is very slow, typically measured in millimeters per year (around 40-50 mm/year for the Eurasian plate). To travel 3 meters, it would take several thousands to millions of years depending on the specific plate's movement rate in that region.
