What are tectonic boundaries?
A tectonic earthquake is a result when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earthâ??s crust. This phenomenon can happen anywhere in the world and could be very dangerous to the people.
What does plate tectonics mean?
It's a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle.
What are the places we're their are a large number of faults called?
In the US they are everywhere in California because that is where the egde of a tectonic plate is. The biggest is San Andreas Fault near San Francisco.
Which plates touch the antarctic plate?
The Nazca, Scotia, South American, Australian, and African Plates. ;)
Where do oceanic plates touch on earth?
At midocean ridges.At underocianic slip faults.
What is the Theory earth divided into moving plates?
The place where tectonic plates touch

What isn't a tectonic plate boundary?
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
Why is oil such a valuable resource?
Of course it does not come from dinosaurs. It is generated from deep within the Earth, and some believe it comes to the surface where the tectonic plates touch. This is well known in Russia, and they always find oil if they drill deep enough.

Why does an earthquake go in a certain direction?
it just means the plates that touch each other are closest to that place.
Where do tectonic plate touch?
continental plate

Where do continental plates touch?
under continents

The Nazca, Scotia, South American, Australian, and African Plates. ;)
Where do most earthquakes happen in the world?
Near subduction zones
Where do continental plates touch on earth?
at the mid ocean ridge
