Rocks crack and shift when from moving plates because too great?
Rocks
How does the movement of tectonic plates?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
Why do the plates moves in the first place?
They move because they are unstable in their current configuration. CRACK OPEN A BOOK DUMBY jkjkjkjk. this is easy af though. legit.
Can a moving plate tectonic cause an earthquake?
Earthquakes happen when two tectonic plates shift past each other because stress over comes their strength
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
Rocks crack and shift when what from moving plates becomes too great?
Pressure
Rocks crack and shift when from moving plates because too great?
Rocks
Where are earthquakes likely to occur in US and why?
where cracks in the earth's plates connect. it is because the earth is constantly moving from the rotation of orbit causing plates to shift & make earthquakes
When plates shift is that erosion?
You might want to go on google and search the definition of erosion just to make sure, but from me 95% of my brain sayes yes because erosion is the movement of particles. And when they shift, they are moving. Although if you are talking about the plates landing up shifted, that is deposition.

Can earthquakes occur in water?
Yes. Earthquakes are caused when the plates in the earth shift and there are still plates that shift in the water.
When the earth's plates shift the results is?
The plates are shifting all the time.

Can a small crack in a retainer over by the left molar shift your teeth?
No, not if it is a big crack
What are differences in colors of moving objects in space that are approaching and moving objects that are moving away?
Objects moving toward you will have a blue shift in their spectrum and objects moving away from you will have a red shift in their spectrum. This is known as a doppler shift.

What happens at these locations that lead to volcanic mountain formation?
Volcanoes form when geologic plates shift and crack against each other. When the gaps fill with molten earth, the volcano really starts to form.
