When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
no
because there is no tectonic plate under Minnesota, no plates are ever moving over MN, thus making it hard to get an earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur @ the edge of plates
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
Its When Tectonic plates either collide Or Move Apart. Examples Of Tectonic Plates moving Together are mountains and volcanoes.
Tectonic Plates moving away from each other.
by mapping where volcanoes and earthquakes occur you can see the outline of the tectonic plates.
Due to the tectonic plates beneath the ocean moving and creating magma.
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
no
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates move on the surface of the earth. It occurs at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic plates are always moving slowly, but when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, it creates a Subduction zone known where volcanoes are found.
It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)
