What region of the earth contains tectonic plates?
the crust contains the tectonic plates!!
What tectonic plates caused the 1755 Lisbon earthquake?
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was primarily caused by the movement of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. These plates converge along the southwestern coast of Portugal, resulting in frequent seismic activity in the region.
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
The region where tectonic plates move toward, apart or horizontally past one another.
Which region of the earth is soft and putty-like and allows for the movement of tectonic plates?
asthenosphe
What region of the earth is soft and putty like and allows for the movement of tectonic plates?
asthenosphere
What is the most likely cause of the volcanic and earthquake activity in this region?
collision of tectonic plates
How did the tectonic activity form southeast Asia?
The Eurasian, Philippine and Indo-Australian plates collided to form the region.
Why do tusnamis ocur in the pacific ocean and not the Atlantic ocean?
Tsunamis can occur in any large body of water. The main reason they are more common in the Pacific is because of the large amount of tectonic activity. Tsunamis are usually caused by either an underwater earthquake, or a near water volcanic eruption. Due to the amount of volcanos in the Pacific Ocean region and the tectonic activity (which causes earthquakes) there are many more tsunamis in the Pacific than in the Atlantic.

An economic region is a human or physical?
An economic region is a human region, since economic activity is a human activity.

Which region of the earth allows for the movement of tectonic plates?
ASTHENOSPHERE
Where in the world do twisters occur most?
Twisters, more formally called tornadoes, are most common the United States, especially on the central plains in a region called Tornado Alley. Some of this activity extends into southern Canada. Other areas of high tornado activity can be found in Australia, India, Bangladesh, and South Africa.
What is a mobile belt?
A mobile belt is an elongate, narrow region of crust experiencing tectonic activity (e.g. earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building). When a mobile belt becomes tectonically inactive it is known as an orogenic belt.
Is geo thermal heating worth the money spent to install it?
For geothermal energy to be of a significant benefit to you, you should be living in a region where there is volacanic activity. Heat from volcanic activity rises to the surface of the ground and continually provides heat. Unless you live an a tectonic plate boundary it may be a waste of money.
How do you spell Australasian?
That is the correct spelling "Australasian" referring to a region or the tectonic plate.
