What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
How does tectonic plate motion relate to volcanoes?
A volcano is magma that has come through the earth's crust through cracks created by movement of the plates.
How does the motion of tectonic plates relate continental drift?
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.

What does Pangaea and how does it relate to the continents today?
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago. It is believed to have later broken apart into the continents we know today due to the movement of tectonic plates. This theory of continental drift helps explain the similarities in geology and fossil evidence found across different continents.

How does plate tectonics relate to Mexico?
they don't stupid i know tectonic plates move water and contents does Mexico do that
How do the locations of earthquakes relate to the earth's plates?
When plates collide or slide apart, earthquakes can be caused."There's really only one explanation for all of the questions about tectonic plates popping up... Why not just do your own homework? It would work a lot faster than waiting for some other random person to do it for you. Alas, (wow I just said "alas") I still answered the question for you..." - anh1227
How does tectonic plate motion relate to the formation of volcanos?
because the tectonic plates converge and form mountains then the lava forms underground and erupts with burnin hot maga and lava
Did the big bang theory create the volcanoes?
No, the Big Bang theory explains the origin of the universe and does not directly relate to the creation of volcanoes. Volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface, which cause magma to rise and erupt through the Earth's crust.
How will you relate distribution of mountain range with the distribution of earthquake epicenter and volcanoes?
The distribution of mountain ranges is closely related to the locations of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes due to tectonic plate interactions. Mountain ranges often form at convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide, leading to increased seismic activity and volcanic eruptions in these regions. Consequently, earthquake epicenters and volcanoes are frequently found along or near these mountain ranges, highlighting the relationship between geological formations and tectonic processes. This pattern illustrates how the Earth's crust responds to the movement of tectonic plates.
How do tectonic plate boundaries relate to mountains?
The reason the tectonic plate boundaries relate to mountains is because of the principle known as the Continental Drift. The theory of the Continental Drift was proposed in 1915 by a man named Alfred Wegener. His theory states that that earth's face is covered in tectonic plates that continuously move about 4 centimeters each year. When these tectonic plates collide, one plate is forced down while the other is is forced up forming moutains. For example, Mount Everest, which, never stops growing.
