What are the many types of plate movements?
Transform, Divergent, Convergent are types of tectonic plate movements
What is one cause of a landsilde and avalanches?
Slight tectonic plate movements
What is leads to the creation of island arcs?
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
What tectonic plate is in the continent of Africa on?
The tectonic plate is called the African Plate.
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)

How can rivers show tectonic plate movements?
Rivers cannot directly show tectonic plate movements. However, the sources of rivers are commonly found in mountains, which are often an indicator of the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What made volcanoes?
Volcano's are made by tectonic plate movements.
What is one cause of a landsilde and avalanches?

Types of plate movements?
Tectonic movement.
Are earthquakes caused by galactic forces?
No, they are caused by tectonic plate movements.
The primary force that causes the seafloor to spred and continets to drift?
Tectonic plate movements or plate shifting.
What are movements of the earth crust and mantle called?
this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
What is causing faulting?
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements
What is leads to the creation of island arcs?
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
How do tectonic plate movemoments affect climate?
The movements themselves (the act of moving) do not affect climate.
What are tectonic plates and why are they important to us?
A plate tectonics is a theory that describes the formation movements and interaction
