there are two because if a earthquake happen it only need to two tectonic plactes
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
Well, not really. There are solar flares, so things do change within the sun, but there is no land, no tectonic plates, and therefore no earthquakes in the way we understand them on Earth. There are vibrations within the sun's interior causing the propagation of waves, the study of which is known as Helioseismology but as noted above they are not really comparable to seismic activity on Earth. Please see the related links.
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
crust? what is it that you are asking exactly?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
They can't. Earth would be a permanently frozen planet if it wasn't for the internal heat which causes the movement of tectonic plates. And we would never have existed.
While the movement of the tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, without them life on earth would not exist as we know it. The fact that Earth has tectonic plates that move has resulted in the planet ws we know it so there can be NO harm from our perspective.
the tectonic plates of the earth move and scrape against each other
The Earth's tectonic plates are always active.
Tectonic plates
There are plenty of things that are amazing about the Earth. It is the only planet with tectonic plates. The Earth is the only planet not named after a Greek God.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it is the crust and the upper mantle of the planet, containing the tectonic plates.
Yes. Because the planet is made of cheese.
The different pieces that the Earth's crust is broken into are known as tectonic plates.
the crust contains the tectonic plates!!
It is when Earth's tectonic plates move around.
