they move in all sorts of ways like the bottom and the top lol :}
What else can I help you with?
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
What is the difference between an earthquake an an and a fault?
Faults are actually the reason earthquakes start. A fault is two Techtonic Platesrubbing against each other, creating tension and stress. When thetension and stress overcomes the strength of the fault, the two plates slip/move,causing the ground to move in various ways, which is also called an earthquake.Techtonic Plates: plates made up of the earths crust that are moving along alayer of magma inside the earth,called the mantle.

What are three ways plates move?
Plates move through seafloor spreading, where new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and pushes existing plates apart. Another way is through subduction, where one plate slides beneath another due to differences in density. Plates can also move horizontally past each other at transform boundaries.
Identify several ways that mining can harm the environment?
by destroying the earths crust
What are formed due to the movement of the earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is split up into plates, I think there are 8 in total, on the borders of these plates are volcanoes, these plates can move in various different ways, sometimes crashing head on, moving apart, one sliding on top of the other, depending on which movement, there can either be a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.
How is a mountian made?
Mountains are formed in various ways. They can be formed by erosion, the collision of tectonic plates, volcanic eruptions, or when hot magma rises from the earths mantle and lifts the sedimentary layer of the earth's crust.
How does the movement of tectonic plates contribute to the rock cycle?
Earths crust is made of several large tectonic plates. These plates slowly move in three ways. 2 plates may move along side each other, away from each other or toward each other. if 2 plates of equal density collide it will result in rocks being crumpled upward forming mountains. if one plate has less density then the other then the plate with more density will slide beneath the less dense plate
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
3 ways in which earths plates interact?
Convergent boundary: Plates collide, causing one to be subducted under the other, creating mountain ranges or deep ocean trenches. Divergent boundary: Plates move away from each other, causing new crust to be formed at mid-ocean ridges. Transform boundary: Plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
What are the Two ways that mountains are created?
Fold moutains are actually formed by crust which have been uplifted and folded by compressional forces. This occurs along convergent plate boundaries where 2 plates move towards each other, between continental plates or between an oceanic and a continental plate. The crust and the rocks get bent and crumpled, and massive layers of Earth's crust gets uplifted as a result, forming spectacular fold mountains. More well-know examples of fold mountains are the Himalayas in Asia and the Andes in South America.
In what direction do tectonic plates go?
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
