the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's
What else can I help you with?
How does the movement of tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's
What activities can cause earthquake?
The movement of tectonic plates.
What movements cause earthquakes volcanoes and mountain ranges?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults in the Earth's crust, while volcanoes are formed by the movement of magma from the mantle to the surface through eruptions. Mountain ranges are created by the collision of tectonic plates, causing uplift and deformation of the Earth's crust.
What is the cause of most earthquakes?
the movement of tectonic or lithoshereic plates
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
Do convection currents in the oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the mantle are the primary driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates. These currents are generated by heat from the Earth's core, causing movement in the mantle that in turn drags and moves the overlying tectonic plates.
What cause faults and earthquakes?
Movement of tectonic plates which are parts of the Earth's crust.
How is movement cause?
Tectonic plates are moved by hot lava under the crust.
Can movement of tectonic plates cause oceanic currents?
yes...it affects a lot.....
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.
Where tectonic plates collide folds and fault can become?
When tectonic plates collide, folds and faults can form. Folds occur when rocks are compressed and bend, while faults are fractures along which movement has occurred. These geological features are common at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic forces cause intense pressure and deformation in the Earth's crust.
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
