Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
What does plates moving past each other cause?
Earthquakes.
Does copper mining cause earthquakes?
No. The moving of tectonic plates does.
Do moving plates cause tornadoes?
No. Moving plates cause most earthquakes but have absolutely nothing to do with tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
How do the moving plates cause constant changes to the surface of your planet?
they build mountains and volcanoes, and cause earthquakes.
Do earthquakes cause sliding plates?
If you mean tetonic plates, then no, sliding tetonic plates cause earthquakes.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands around the earth?
because the plates of earth is moving cause a big or small vibrate that cause earthquakes and cause a volcano to become active
Do moving tectonic plates cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes in the sea. Earthquakes are caused by moving tectonic plates. So, indirectly, yes. See the related question below for more information on the causes of tsunami.
Can earthquakes cause volcano erruptions?
Earthquakes can cause volcanos to errupt by the plates moving and crashing into one other which creates an earthquake(when plates collide it causs an earthquake) so the force of the earthquake causes a volcano erruption.
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
