Okay.So one plate goes under another. And in about 1,000 years or so, it forms another plate.I think that's how the plates move.

When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?
usually when the tectonic plates collide there is either an earth quake, tsunami or both, however this doess not happen very often.
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
Why does magma aften form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Are plates made of Earth's crust and asthenosphere?
Tectonic plates are formed from the lithosphere which is the solid brittle portion of the upper mantle and the crust so tectonic plates are part of both the crust and the upper brittle mantle.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion?
Our jumping is a vertical motion, while walking is a horizontal motion. Exercises are done by both horizontal and vertical motion.
Is scroll bar located at the bottom of the Powerpoint screen?

Does the letter you have horizontal symmetry or vertical symmetry or both?
Both
Does the letter E have horizontal symmetry vertical symmetry or both?
Horizontal only
Do both islands and continents move?
Yes they are both above the Tectonic plates therefore follow tectonic movements
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
What monitors both vertical and horizontal movements along fault?
GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar monitor both vertical and horizontal movements along the fault.
Is the lithosphere located in the plates why not?
Yes, the tectonic plates-both continental and oceanic- are part of the lithosphere.
What influences both chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
tectonic plates
When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?
usually when the tectonic plates collide there is either an earth quake, tsunami or both, however this doess not happen very often.
Is it true that projectiles always have both horizontal and vertical motion?
true
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
