What else can I help you with?
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
How many tectonic plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
Is this true that each tectonic plates holds land masses and ocean regions?
Yes, this is true. Acutally, the tectonic plates are under all of us, even fish.
Is the crust thicker under the sea or a mountain range?
The crust is generally thicker under a mountain range compared to under the sea. This is because mountain ranges are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, which can result in the crust being pushed up and folded, leading to its thickening. In contrast, the crust under the ocean is thinner due to the process of seafloor spreading where new crust is constantly being created at mid-ocean ridges.
What is under the tectonic plates under ground?
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
Do oceanic plates lie under the ocean?
yes
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
Is an earthquake created by tectonic plates?
An earthquake IS caused by the movement of the plates under the ocean. And there is one active site which is known as "The Ring of Fire". +++ The "Ring of Fire" is a whole set of active sites right round the Pacific Ocean, above the subductions of the sea-floor plates below the surrounding continents.
What caused the tectonic plates?
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
Where can you find the thickest part of tectonic plates?
The thickest part of tectonic plates is typically found near their centers, where the lithosphere is older and has had more time to accumulate material. This thicker part is known as the lithospheric mantle, which is located beneath the Earth's crust.
