Parts of tectonic plates that are located above mantle plumes are called?
The part of the tectonic plates located above mantle plumes are called "hot spots". --- Source(s) : Does Google count?
Are tectonic plate under ground or above ground?
Tectonic Plates are the ground. They are large slabs of earth that float on top of the magma.
Are volcanoes randomly distributed?
No. Most lie above the points where tectonic plates meet.
When two tectonic plates converge and one rises above the other?
Creates a volcano.
Can it rain during an earthquake?
Yes, the tectonic plates shifting does not effect the weather patterns above it.

What part of the earth are the tectonic plates moving above?
north and west
How do convection cells affect the crust above it?
It will move the tectonic plates
Do both islands and continents move?
Yes they are both above the Tectonic plates therefore follow tectonic movements
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
Tectonic Platesplates

Where do volcanoes occur on earth?
Volcanoes occur along tectonic borders. More specifically, a border between an oceanic plate, and a land plate. Oceanic plates are more dense than land plates, which causes them to sink beneath land plates. Along these borders, magma can seep up to above the plates, cool, and form a volcano. This is what caused the "Ring of Fire," a ring of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.

Yes, the tectonic plates shifting does not effect the weather patterns above it.
