The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

What part of the mantle is the tectonic plated located?
it is located in the upper mantle.........
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
What is the name of the force that is causing movement at the this fault?
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
asthensophere
Where do the earthquakes tend to occurred?
Where the tectonic plates occur.
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
When tectonic plates collide?
When tectonic plated collide they create an earthquake. It happens by them colliding and shaking each other forming a big movement.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Can rift valleys occur from the movement of the tectonic plates?
Yes
How does earthquake occur?
Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
When there is movement in the Earth's crust what occurs?
Earthquakes occur as a result of strain from tectonic movement being suddenly released as a shock wave. In addition volcanoes may be formed as a result of divergence or subduction (from convergence), which both result from tectonic movement.
What does colliding boundary mean?
It is where 2 tectonic plated meet.
What is tectonic plateau?
Tectonic plateau is a plateau formed by the movement of tectonic plateaus
What part of the mantle is the tectonic plated located?
it is located in the upper mantle.........
What is tectonic earthquake means?
It is the unsual movement of tectonic plates which causes tectonic earthquakes.
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
