What is the age of the Canadian shield?
The whole planet is the same age.The surface changes. The Canadian Shield is rock that emerged from the tectonic plate wrestling that is an ongoing part of Earth's evolution, and has maintained a coherent structure for many millennia.
What is the name given to notorious area around the pacific plate associated with considerable tectonic activity?
The Pacific Plate's Ring of Fire, an active volcano, is the source of considerable tectonic activity.
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.
What is the main cause for earthquake activity in the ring of fire?
Tectonic Plate movement
Where are tsunamis most likely to occur?
Tsunamis are most likely to occur along areas of high tectonic activity, which is the trigger of Tsunamis in the first place. Areas of high tectonic activity are near the edges of plates, like the Pacific-North American plate and the Indian plate.

How was the Canadian shield formed?
Canadian Shield was formed when 2 tectonics plates collided, when they collided, folding occurred. The plate that was forced down, melted and rose back to the surface to cool down over time. These rocks (that were cooled down) eventually came to be known as the Canadian Shield.
Does Uranus have tectonic plate activity?
No. Earth is the only known planet with plate tectonics.

What places are NOT currently being affected by plate tectonic activity?
france.

Why is Earth the only planet in the solar system that has plate tectonic activity?
It isn't.
What is the main cause for earthquake activity in the ring of fire?
Tectonic Plate movement
Why do volcanic activities occur at zones of crustal activity?
Because of the plate tectonic
Do tectonic plates seems to have had the most earthquakes activity?
No. Everything on earth is on at least one tectonic plate. It is the boundaries between different plates that see the most earthquake activity.
What are three results of tectonic plate activity?
Results can be such as earthquakes, or mountains and volcanoes forming.
