What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic Activity- activity that occurs as a result of tectonic plate movement, for example: earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building in general.
How have tectonic plates affected latin Americas physical geography?
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
Are volcanoes in the center of tectonic plates?
no
How do tectonic plates form volcanoes?

What are some volcanoes in Barbados?
It was formed by the tectonic upliftment in the earth's crust.
Why are most volcanoes located by the ring of fire?
Because of the movement of tectonic plates.
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
They're all caused by tectonic movement
What type of tectonic plate movement can cause the formation of mountains trenches or volcanoes?
weathering and erosion
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
Why do you need to study volcanoes?
study volcanoes to know when they will erupt to save people's lives and some like to study volcanoes to learn more about tectonic plate movement.
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic Activity- activity that occurs as a result of tectonic plate movement, for example: earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building in general.
When there is movement in the Earth's crust what occurs?
Earthquakes occur as a result of strain from tectonic movement being suddenly released as a shock wave. In addition volcanoes may be formed as a result of divergence or subduction (from convergence), which both result from tectonic movement.
Do tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes to happen for the same reason?
The movement of tectonic plates are almost always the cause for earthquakes and volcanoes, although the actual quake or eruption may occur long after the underlying movement. Earthquakes are sudden shifts in the crust, when built-up stress along rock faults is released. The magma for volcanoes is formed of rocks that melt when they are pushed deeper into the Earth by tectonic forces.
How did Pangaea break apart?
Pangaea broke apart because of the movement of tectonic plates, which causes earthquakes and volcanoes.
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
Who do earth plates move?
The tectonic plates move because they are floating on magma. They jostle with each other and that's how you get tectonic movement, earthquakes, volcanoes and all that happy stuff.
