The tectonic plates are constantly moving on Earth. When they scrape against one another, an earthquake usually arises on land due to the huge amount of force the giant plates have. When they pull apart and cause a gap between them, magma from the Earth's core is able to escape to the surface, causing a volcanic eruption.
and if you ever want to make this into a concept web yuo must you the first line on plate tectonics ant then write next to it that " Plate tectonics

How is plate tectonics related to Natural Hazards?
plate tectonics are related to natural hazards because they cause them, such has erupting volcanoes, and trembling earthquakes.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
Theory which explains volcanic and earthquake activity in terms of plate movements?
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
Yes, earthquakes are an affect of plate tectonics.
How is plate tectonics related to Natural Hazards?
plate tectonics are related to natural hazards because they cause them, such has erupting volcanoes, and trembling earthquakes.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
How are volanoes and the process of plate tectonics related?
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
Where does plate tectonics situated in layer of ocean?
earthquakes and volcanoes
What is the similarity between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics?
Monkey Pants, YEAH
What causes earthquakes volcanoes trenches mid-ocean ridge?
Plate tectonics.
Where do volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What does the theroy of plate tectonics explain?
it explains y there is volcanoes, earthquakes, and the movement of the continents
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes show up where they do?
When two tectonics plate move together and volcanoes are made by alot of magma
