When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
How in earth internal convection affect plate tectonics?
it affects it because any earthquake or different types of events happens an it will affect plate tectonics because it is stronger then plate tectonics for example lava or magma when a volcanos errupts it could burn some plate tectonic when theres a sunami it could also affected especialy if theres a earthquake for example 5.8 or bigger since the streets brake into pieces it could affect it
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
When one plate moves under another this can cause?
it could cause an earthquake and a tsunami. or a volcano to be formed
How did the 2004 tsunami ocur?
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was the result of a megathrust earthquake. Such an earthquake occurs at a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate collide with and slides under another. The earthquake occurred when the Indian plate slipped eastward and a bit further under the Burma plate. As a result, part of the seafloor on the Burma plate was thrust upward, displacing the enormous volume of water above it.
What fault was the kamchatka earthquake on?
The Kamchatka earthquake was on the Pacific plate.
Where does a earthquake start?
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
When a continental plates collide with another continental plate what it is caused?
Earthquake
The collision of one ccontinental plate with another may produce?
An earthquake or if at sea a tsunami.
Does tectonic plate size effect earthquake magnitude?
Tectonic plate size does affect earthquake magnitude. Earthquakes happen when one plate slides above/below another plate, to do this it takes massive amounts of convection energy from the mantle to move the plate above. The larger the mass of the plate, the more energy is needed to move it which means that large plates have a lot of stored up energy in them before the quake in question. When the energy is released the plate boundary snaps releasing all the built up energy. As there was so much energy stored in the plate the more is released, causing a larger, more devastating earthquake.

What caused the Kashmir earthquake?
The Kashmiri Earthquake was affected by the destructive tectonic plate boundaries. Eurasian and Indian plate hitting each other. That's what caused the Himalayas. Once, they hit an earthquake occurs. actually it ocurs not as soon as it hits but after hundreds and thusands of years after the presure builds up enough
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
What is formed when plate slides against another plate?
well it's simple: an earthquake that can kill and destroy cars, trees, and buildings and they can cause tsunamies
